\nA Bowling Green man that was arrested Wednesday after being accused of shooting his own brother claims it was in self-defense.<\/p>\n
Officials say the shooting happened in the 3000 block of Hunts Bend Road around 11:30 a.m. on Monday, September 19th. The older brother was driven by his grandmother to River Place, where first responders met them and then transported him to Skyline Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n
Aaron Nickel shot his brother with a single .410 shotgun shell.<\/p>\n
Nickel was charged with first-degree assault by the Warren County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
During the first preliminary hearing Friday, Aaron claims he was acting in self-defense, as his older brother was attempting to enter his room with a knife to stab him.<\/p>\n
During the preliminary hearing, Warren County Detective Robert Smith said despite Nickel’s claiming self-defense over the phone, he would not claim it in-person at the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
He stated his brother had been threatening him off-and-on for several days. He had stated earlier that he was going to stab him, according to Detective Smith.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Nickel\u2019s defense attorney, Travis Lock, said there is more than enough evidence for the defendant to claim self-defense, despite failing to appear in person, including that his brother is older and larger in comparison.<\/p>\n
Aaron Nickel’s bond was originally set at $100,000 cash, but after Friday\u2019s hearing, was lowered to $50,000. Judge Kim Geoghegan also ruled that both brothers, Aaron and Brandon, can no longer live in the same residency together.
