A Brighton man shot and killed a 44-year-old registered sex
offender who attacked two women in their home early this
morning, officials said.

According to Dist. Atty. Gen. Mike Dunavant, David
Fleming charged into the home of two women at about 3 a.m.

Fleming bound the women but one escaped and ran to a nearby
home. Dunavant said Fleming, who lived in Munford, intended
to rape the women.

The woman who escaped went to the nearby home of Keith
Ingram for help, Dunavant said.

Ingram, carrying a .40-caliber handgun, ran to the house and
found Fleming attacking the other woman, officials said.

When Fleming tried to attack Ingram, Dunavant said Ingram
shot Fleming once.

Tipton County Sheriff?s deputies and Brighton Police
officers found Fleming dead on the front porch of the home.

Fleming had been convicted of attempted rape in Tipton
County. He?s listed on the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation?s sex-offender registry.

Dunavant said Ingram has no criminal record and has a permit
to carry the handgun.

The women who were attacked were treated at Baptist Memorial
Hospital-Tipton.

TBI officials are assisting with the case. The Shelby
County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy.
Investigators took statements from several witnesses today.
The shooting is still under investigation.
