STOCKTON - A 60-year-old Stockton man remains in critical condition in an area hospital after he was shot several times early Sunday in his ex-girlfriend's home by a neighbor trying to intervene in a domestic violence attack.
Shortly after 1:50 a.m. Sunday, Alcide Doucet allegedly went to the Kelley Drive home of the 43-year-old woman and kicked in the door, according to a police report. Doucet allegedly hit the woman in the head with his fists and a handgun.
A 42-year-old neighbor heard screaming and other noise coming from the woman's house and went to help, according to the report. The neighbor, whom police did not identify, apparently knew of problems between the woman and Doucet, according to the report.
Once inside the woman's home, the neighbor saw Doucet holding the woman by her hair and raising his hand with the gun in it, according to the report. The neighbor told Doucet several times to stop. Doucet allegedly turned the gun on the neighbor and fired once, hitting the man in the foot.
The neighbor returned fire with his own gun, hitting Doucet several times in the upper body.
The woman and neighbor were treated for non-life-threatening wounds. Doucet was taken to an area hospital, where he underwent surgery for his wounds.
Doucet could face felony domestic violence and other charges once he is released from the hospital, officials said. The neighbor will not face charges since he was defending the woman, according to police.
