Woman charged with attempted killing of homeless man has previous arrest record
Natalie Allison and Natalie Neysa Alund, The Tennessean Published 3:12 p.m. CT Sept. 12, 2017 | Updated 6:40 a.m. CT Sept. 13, 2017
A 26-year-old Nashville woman charged this week for the attempted killing of a homeless man was firing "warning shots" in self-defense, her father says.
Katie Layne Quackenbush, 26, of 45th Avenue North, was charged Monday night with attempted murder for the Aug. 26 shooting of 54-year-old Gerald Melton, who remains hospitalized at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with critical injuries.
She was released from jail after posting a $25,000 bond.
Quackenbush, an aspiring singer and songwriter who previously lived in Amarillo, Texas, has twice been accused of assaulting other women. One charge was dropped and the other is still pending in Texas.
