by Kyra Rogers  An intruder is in Erlanger Medical Center Saturday, after being shot in the torso.East Ridge police say the man is an ex-boyfriend of one of the residents living at a home on Greenbrier Rd.A sign on the front door clearly states the homeowners have, and are protected by, firearms.Chad Gentry believes that's exactly what saved his neighbor's life.€œWith all the gun debate going on, we all know criminals are always going to have tools they need to commit the crime. They could be dead.€Gentry said he was still awake when he heard the shot.€œ4 o'clock in the morning I heard a gunshot and right after the gun shot a cry for help. A male's voice and female cry for help.€Gentry said, without hesitation, he ran for his phone and called police.The suspect is identified as 34-year-old George Miles.Police say he and the man who shot him were involved in a disorder earlier at the Wal-Mart on Brainerd Rd.At that time, Miles told the victim that he would come to the home and kill him.Later, Miles broke through a bedroom window while yelling I'm going to kill you, and was shot in the torso.€œI could see a gunshot right to the middle of his back, to the right of his spine. There's a bush right next to his porch and he was up under the bush, just curled up in a ball with a girl beside him.€It's a shot Gentry believes was well deserved.€œThreatened life and he broke into the house? Definitely.€A search shows Miles with previous aggravated assault charges in 2010.This incident is still under investigation, and charges are pending.
