Lebanon man shot after argumentNo subsequent stories about this incident were found.
An argument turned violent Tuesday night in Lebanon, leaving one man fighting for his life, Wilson County Sheriff Terry Ashe said.
John Thomas Rogers, 28, was shot three times by his mother's friend Nancy Butler, Ashe said. Butler lives with Rogers and his mother on Speck Road, the sheriff said.
Butler called 911 about 11 p.m. Tuesday to report that she had shot Rogers, Ashe said. He said the wounds are to Rogers' upper torso and head.
''We don't know what his recovery situation is going to be like. As far as I know, he has not regained consciousness yet and is at Vanderbilt'' University Medical Center.
Butler told officers that she shot Rogers in self-defense, Ashe said. ''We'll be presenting the facts of that case to the Wilson County grand jury in a few days. (Rogers and Butler) were arguing over the usage of a telephone, and it escalated.''
Butler had not been charged with any crime as of yesterday afternoon, Ashe said.
