  • Monday, June 27, 2016

Chattanooga Police say a local man fired shots into a house, though his own two-year-old son was inside.

Davonte Dewun Ammons, 21, is charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and three counts of reckless endangerment.

The incident happened May 2, and Ammons was taken into custody on Sunday.

After police were summoned to Grand Avenue, Brittney Parks said her child's father (Ammons) fired a gun as he stood in the front doorway.

Police said one bullet stuck a couch where Kenneth Watkins was sitting. Nicole Phillips was also nearby.

Ms. Parks, who said she thought she heard two shots, said Ammons said, "I'll shoot this whole house up."

One live round, one spent shell casing and a bullet fragment were recovered from the scene.

His bonds totaled $140,000.
