Who Held Gun To Her Husband’s Head, Police Say
Michael Chastain, 45, drove through the front yard of the couple’s home before grabbing the husband, forcing him to the ground, and pointing a gun at his head, according to investigators. His wife saw the situation from inside the home and shot Chastain with her handgun, the investigators said.
Deputies with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department responded to a 911 call and found Chastain in the front yard with a gunshot wound. He was transported to Saint Vincent Hospital in Salem and was later pronounced dead.
Chastain had dated the daughter of the homeowner at one point, police said. However, the daughter no longer lives at the home, and police said they are not sure why he targeted her father.
Chastain is also known in the area and has a criminal background, Indiana State Police investigators said.
