NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man says he fought back after someone shot him in his backyard in Nashville.

Wednesday night, a woman flagged down some officers with the Juvenile Task Force out on patrol and told them someone shot had her husband.

Police say the victim was in the backyard of his home on Crowe Drive when two men walked up to him and shot him in the stomach.
