CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A Clarksville man is charged with aggravated assault after allegedly pulling a gun on a victim, who in turn shot the suspect.
According to an arrest warrant, the victim, his son, and a coworker were driving on Buckeye Lane on May 6 when the victim’s son noticed the suspect, 19-year-old Antoine Reynolds, walking down the street. His son said Reynolds was the man who had allegedly robbed him a few days prior.
The victim asked Reynolds if he was the man who had robbed his son, at which point Reynolds began to grab a black handgun from his waistband.
The victim told police he was afraid of bodily injury, so he grabbed his own handgun and shot three rounds at Reynolds, striking him in the arm once.
Both witnesses gave the same account of the incident.
Reynolds told police he did not have a weapon, but a surveillance camera in the area shows Reynolds fleeing the scene with a black handgun in his hand.
Reynolds was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. His bond was set at $100,000.
