The scene of an officer-involved shooting on Fuller Rd.

A 34-year-old man was shot by a Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy at a home in East Brainerd early Friday morning, authorities said.

Matthew Paupp survived the shooting and was in stable condition at a local hospital Friday afternoon. The shooting happened at a home owned by Paupp’s father in the 9500 block of Fuller Road around 6:30 a.m.

Deputies responded to the home after Paupp apparently called 911 and said someone was breaking into the house. Deputies were dispatched to a ‘burglary in progress’ call.

When they arrived at the home, they heard gunshots inside, said Susan Niland, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Shortly afterward, Paupp came out on the front porch of the home and allegedly pointed a weapon at deputies, she said.

One deputy opened fire, wounding Paupp. Niland could not say how many shots the deputy fired or how many times Paupp was hit. No deputies were injured.
