   Early this morning around 1:30 a.m. the Evansville Police Department was dispatched to the 4000 block of Longfield Dr. for a shots fired run.  The caller advised that someone had been shot outside of a residence. When officers initially arrived they were able to quickly locate a person, who was later identified as Angel Benjamin Hibbs (22). As they were speaking with Hibbs, he advised the officers that he could not see, as he had a gunshot wound to his right eye. The Evansville Fire Department arrived shortly after and began working on him.

  Other arriving officers were able to locate the person who shot the male, he was identified as Jesse Tanner Bryant (28). Bryant advised it was self-defense, as Hibbs tried to break into his residence. Bryant was frightened of Hibbs because he was making statements of how he was going to do harm to him as he was breaking in.

   Hibbs was transported to the hospital where his condition is unknown at this time.
