Man Shot, Killed After Allegedly Trying To Rape Girls
BRIGHTON, Tenn. (AP) - Police said a man attempting to rape a girl and a woman was shot and killed after one escaped and alerted her nearby cousin.
Investigators said 44-year-old David Fleming forcibly entered the home of two sisters, ages 22 and 12, in an apparent rape attempt in Tipton County.
After being tied up, one of the girls escaped and ran to the home of her next-door neighbor and cousin, Keith Ingram.
Police said Ingram shot and killed Fleming after he attempted to attack him.
Fleming had a prior conviction for attempted rape and was a registered sex offender. Ingram had no criminal record and a valid handgun permit.
No charges have been filed.
