Fugitive shoots at 'Dog' Chapman in Colorado

Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Colorado Springs, Colo., police say bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and a bail bondsman were shot at while trying to apprehend a man wanted for attempted second-degree murder.

Sgt. Roger Vargason says the two were attempting to take 35-year-old Hoang Nguyen into custody at an apartment complex tonight when Nguyen shot at them at least once with a handgun and fled on a motorcycle. No injuries were reported, and Nguyen remains at large.

Vargason says initial reports showed Chapman and the bondsman were armed with paintball guns while trying to capture Nguyen, who also is wanted for domestic violence and a gun charge.

Chapman is best known for A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter" TV reality series.
