Officials say the incident happened near the Smith Springs Public Use Area in Antioch on Percy Priest Lake. Bogdal wasn't injured and after the evidence was collected, he returned to the water. Police have so far only collected shell casings.

You'll recall Greg Hawkins was shot and killed at the Mona Boat Ramp after Rutherford County Sheriff's officials say he interrupted a car burglary in progress October 16th.
