Calhoun County Deputies were dispatched to a residential home in Alexandria regarding a possible home invasion. Upon arrival deputies located a man suffering from gunshot wounds, later identified as, Scott Ingram, 47, of Munford. It was later learned that Ingram was the alleged perpetrator and had attempted to force his way into the residence. One of the residents inside the house was able to fire rounds at the home invader striking him multiple times.
