CHARDON TOWNSHIP, OH – Tony Molchak is being charged with negligent assault of his ex-wife when he shot her in the back on accident.

The boyfriend, Gary Schussler, had been drinking and engaged in a heated confrontation with Molchak over child visitation rights. While his ex-wife recorded with a smart phone, Molchak threw the first punch, causing Schussler to pull his gun out.

After a brief scuffle, Molchak grabbed possession of the weapon and the gun went off. In the video you can hear a gunshot and Molchak’s ex-wife screaming that she’d been shot. She was flown to the hospital with a collapsed lung.

Schussler is being charged with having weapons while intoxicated and assault. His attorney claims that he is within his rights to defend himself based on the Castle Doctrine.
