A Klamath Falls man was shot in the leg early Thursday after throwing a battery through his neighbor's window and trying to break into the house, authorities said.Timothy Allen Lamere, 35, 2250 Garden Ave., was treated for a gunshot wound in his upper right leg and released. Then he was arrested and jailed on charges of attempted burglary and criminal mischief.
Although the two were neighbors, Lamere hardly knew the man who shot him, said Officer Mike Anderson of the Klamath Falls Police Department."They were just two people who lived next to each other," Anderson said.According to police, here's what happened:Lamere threw a car battery through a front window of a house on his block on Garden Avenue at about 5 a.m.The battery didn't injure anyone in the house, but it did scare a 16-year-old girl who was sleeping on a living room couch.While the girl started screaming, Lamere started kicking the house's front door.
Hearing the racket, Clayton Bauman, who lives in the house with his wife, the girl and another 4-month-old child, came out of his bedroom armed with a handgun.
Bauman shot at the door, which Lamere was still kicking on the other side. The bullet went through the door and hit Lamere in the leg.Wounded and in jail in lieu of $30,000 bail, Lamere is in a familiar predicament, Anderson said."This isn't the first time that Mr. Lamere was the victim of a gunshot or a suspect of burglary," he said.
Anderson said a Klamath Falls police officer shot Lamere in Spring 1994 after he attempted to burglarize a place on East Main Street. Details of that shooting weren't immediately available Thursday.
