NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – On Wednesday, a woman in Old Hickory, Nashville, reportedly defended herself by shooting her ex-boyfriend, alleging he strangled and threatened her. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the woman, not presently facing any charges, reported the incident herself through a 911 call. The ex-boyfriend, now under treatment at Skyline Medical Center, incurred a severe head injury due to the gunshot.
The confrontation escalated from a dispute that began on Tuesday night, where the man allegedly assaulted her multiple times and restricted her from leaving. She purportedly resorted to using a firearm she had in her purse when he attacked her again.
Notably, this is not the first incident involving the pair; the man had a record of breaching a protective order in February, having previously appeared at the woman's residence unannounced in the preceding August.

The woman said she and her ex-boyfriend started arguing Tuesday night, when the man strangled her more than one time and threatened to kill her. He then refused to let her leave and charged at her again, police said. It was then authorities said she fired at him with a pistol that she grabbed from her purse.
Due to the critical nature of the man's wound, the Homicide Unit is now leading the investigation with assistance from the Domestic Violence Division. The completed investigation will be staffed with the District Attorney's Office.
The man was previously arrested in February of this year for violating an order of protection obtained by the woman when he showed up at her house last August.
