Investigation revealed this male approached an apartment while completely nude and knocked on the door. A female occupant opened the apartment door and the male walked in without permission.

“The occupant of the apartment discharged her weapon, striking the male subject,” Det. Mike Hebert said. “The male subject’s injuries were non-life threatening and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment.”

Hebert said no arrests were made and the case is being turned over to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office for review.
