LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police said a southern Indiana woman shot and killed a man who was holding a gun to her husband's head.

According to a news release from Indiana State Police, the Washington County Sheriff's Department said the incident started around 6:30 p.m. Monday in the 7700 block of Organ Springs Road in Salem when officers responded to a 911 call.

Police said officers found 45-year-old Michael Chastain in the front yard with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Saint Vincent Hospital in Salem, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said Chastain drove through the front yard, grabbed the homeowner, forced him to the ground and pointed a gun at his head. The homeowner's wife saw it happen and shot Chastain with her handgun.

The investigation continues, and the case will eventually be turned over to the Washington County Prosecutor's Office, according to the news release.

Investigators with Indiana State Police told WDRB News that Chastain is well-known in the area, and has a criminal background. He dated the homeowner's daughter, but she no longer lives at the home, so police aren't sure why he targeted her father.

This story will be updated when more information becomes available.

Cool!

Love a happy ending.

Good guy with a gun - 1
Lifelong thug - 0

That is a happy Friday.

Satisfying.

A happy Friday story that will brighten the whole weekend!

Part of me wants to express that there wasn't enough pain and suffering in that story.

Next time maybe the hero could use a scythe,
To hack the aggressor in half so he can watch himself bleed out while bystanders stand in the bleachers applauding.

Something tells me this story goes a lot deeper. If the police aren't sure at this point why dad was targeted, I bet they figure it out fairly fast.

Taxpayers win and the price was just a good citizen donating a round of handgun ammo.

So who's to prosecute? The BG is dead, Jim.

By me the woman did a righteous shooting with 100% satisfactory results.

I hope this poor woman isn’t in a bad way. I’d be happy to replace her ammo if need be.

Nice shot!

Real nice. I show this story to Mrs. DF and she declares,”Hey, I think I want a 4” barrel .357 mag S&W.” Sheesh!

I can only speculate about the condition of the husband's underdrawers.

Love to see a happy ending for the husbands immedate situation but I think that with further deeper investigation this guys envolvement with the family's daughter will probably shed some light on the situation... Hope that the confrontation was caught on someone's home video camera for video proof. ........................ drill sgt.

“Hell of a shot Mary!”

“Yeah yeah, TOTALLY hit what I was aiming for”

Yes, this occurred in Indiana.
