Father Kills Man Who Shot His Daughter: Police

GAINESVILLE, GA — A Gainesville man shot and killed his daughter's boyfriend Sunday after the boyfriend shot the woman in the back during an argument, authorities say.

The shootings happened around 4:30 a.m. Sunday at a home on Jet Wright Road in Gainesville, according to Hall County Sheriff's Office spokesman Scott Ware.

After executing a search warrant at the home, investigators say they learned that Thomas McNutly, 25, shot his 22-year-old girlfriend in the back following an argument. The victim's father, who also lives at the home, then shot and killed McNutly, they say.

Authorities on Monday were not identifying the victim or her father.

The woman was taken to North East Georgia Medical Center, where she was in stable condition on Monday.

No criminal charges are expected in the case, Ware said, and there are no further suspects or known witnesses to be interviewed.
