Matthew Paupp.A 34-year-old man who was shot by Hamilton County sheriff's deputies on Feb. 3 was taken straight from the hospital to jail on Friday, records show.
Matthew Paupp faces six counts of aggravated assault after authorities said he fired at deputies while inside his father's home on Fuller Road around 6:30 a.m. on Feb. 3.
Paupp called 911 that morning and claimed people had broken into his home. When deputies arrived, Paupp fired a weapon inside the East Brainerd home, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies then "established communication" with Paupp, according to an affidavit, and told him he was endangering deputies and ordered him to put his gun down and step outside the home.
Paupp, however, continued shooting and said he wanted deputies to come inside, according to the affidavit.
Deputies "had to take defensive positions outside the residence to avoid being struck by gunfire," according to the affidavit. A school bus also approached the home during the gunfire and had to be diverted by deputies.
Eventually, Paupp came out of the home holding a gun. Deputies ordered him to drop it, but he instead allegedly raised the weapon and pointed it at deputies. One deputy fired, striking and wounding Paupp.
Investigators have not named the deputy who fired or said how many times Paupp was hit. No deputies were injured.
Paupp fired at six deputies, according to his affidavit. He also was charged with one count of reckless endangerment because he was shooting in a neighborhood and near drivers.
He was booked into the Hamilton County Jail on a $250,000 bond and remained in custody on Monday.
Deputies did not find any evidence of a burglary or forced entry into the home, sheriff's Deputy Chief Allen Branum said.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation into the deputies' actions. The investigators will present their findings to Hamilton County District Attorney Neal Pinkston, who will determine whether the deputies' actions warrant criminal charges.
The East Brainerd shooting is the second time this year that sheriff's deputies have opened fire on a suspect. Christopher Sexton, 29, was shot and killed by sheriff's deputies on Jan. 17.
The TBI is also investigating that case.
