An act of self-defense leaves a Lookout Mountain, Georgia man dead and a family grieving.
Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said his deputies tried to stop an on-going, heated family dispute but it was just too late.
"Unfortunate for the victim, the victim's family and the person that had to do the shooting," Sheriff Wilson said.
Harry Lee Derryberry, known as Chuck, was just 45-years-old when his life ended in a field on his family's property in Rising Fawn on Lookout Mountain. He had been shot in the groin with a 12-gauge shotgun. His family called 911 earlier saying they needed help quickly with a domestic dispute that turned violent.
"Upon speaking with the deputy arriving on the scene, he told me he actually heard the gunshot when the gun was fired," Sheriff Wilson explained.
Sheriff Wilson said Brian Lee Walden fired the gun, acting in self-defense and is not being charged. He and several family members were assaulted by Derryberry - the result of an argument over one of his sons.

The article is unreadable primarily because the criminal attacker is called the “victim.”
hell, I knew it was gonna be difficult after I got this far.....*grins*
lol/ouch.
This part is clear enough: He had been shot in the groin with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Harry Lee Derryberry, known as Chuck, was....shot in the groin with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Chuck was shot in his Derryberries.
It’s not you. The worst written stories typically come from TV stations.
"Unfortunate for the victim, the victim's family and the person that had to do the shooting," Sheriff Wilson said.
The victim is the shooter who will suffer a conscioss of killing another human with regret on the one hand but luck, for being alive.
...turning him into ground Chuck,
That is not unreadable in is incoherent and scattered.
Personally, I liked this quote the best: “Upon speaking with the deputy arriving on the scene, he told me he actually heard the gunshot when the gun was fired,” Sheriff Wilson explained.
It would have been pretty freaky if he had heard the gunshot before the gun was fired.
GROAN
It sucks being the slow-witted goober on the losing end of a self-defense shooting. Moral of the story........don’t do stupid stuff that makes you a victim......victim.....victim............this guy was no victim.
What?
Thanks made my day!!!!
LOL!
Translation: the D.A. couldn't make heads or tails out of that saga either, and therefore suspected that a grand jury would be similarly confused.
LOL... a District Attorney named "Buzz"!
I've been to the Lookout Mountain area a few times, years ago - sounds like it's still as interesting as ever. :-)
“Harry Lee Derryberry, known as Chuck, was....shot in the groin with a 12-gauge shotgun.”
Boy why am I not surprised.
“...is incoherent and scattered.”
Seems ironically appropriate for a scatter gun shooting, doesn’t it?
