A wife reportedly saw a man drive through her southern Indiana front yard Monday night, exit the vehicle, force her husband to the ground, and point a gun at his head.

With that, she grabbed her own gun and shot the man dead, WDRB-TV reported.

Authorities said officers found 45-year-old Michael Chastain in a front yard with a gunshot wound, WDRB reported, adding that he was taken to St. Vincent Hospital in Salem, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said Chastain drove through the yard, grabbed the homeowner, forced him to the ground, and pointed a gun at his head, the station said.

The homeowner's wife saw the incident from inside the house, grabbed her handgun, went outside, and shot Chastain, WTHR-TV reported, citing police.

State police investigators told WDRB that Chastain is well known in the area and has a criminal background. WDRB also said Chastain dated the homeowner's daughter, but added that police aren't sure why he targeted her father since she no longer lives at the home.

He won’t do that again.

“Vow to endeavor to persevere.”

Josey: “Just when I get to liking someone, they’re not around anymore.”

Chief Lone Watie: “I notice when you don’t get to liking someone, they’re not around anymore either.”

Quotes are close but not 100% accurate.

Probably wanted dad to tell him where she was staying. Bet she was trying to leave him.

“My ex would probably have shot me for the money and shared it with him..”

One VERY big reason she’s now an EX wife I take it.

Marry a short woman, that way when she tries to get the rifle down from the high shelf you have time you’ll hear her.
She’ll probably still try to shoot you but you’ll have time to prepare.

The scenes with Josey Wales and Chief Dan George were absolutely priceless.

"Howdy. I'm getting better at sneaking up on you."

I see Michael Chastain's wife in this scene from "Open Range." Walks up, little talk, all action.

"You the one who killed our friend?"

Lol.. that too. But, what I meant was if she (ex) had seen him drive onto the lawn and put me at gunpoint, she would do it for him instead of protect me 😉🤣

Or if the daughter is a drug user too, maybe she ripped his stash off. Either way, he was probably demanding her whereabouts.

He won’t be asking that anymore.
