DENVER (Reuters) - A Colorado man was arrested on Wednesday after eyewitnesses claimed he may have fired a gun at reality TV star Duane "Dog" Chapman as the bounty hunter tried to apprehend him, police said.

Hoang Nguyen, 35, is being held on suspicion of attempted murder for the Tuesday night incident in Colorado Springs, Colo., about 70 miles (113 km.) south of Denver, said police Lt. David Whitlock.

Chapman, star of the A&E network's "Dog the Bounty Hunter," escaped unharmed, Whitlock said.

Whitlock said Chapman, 56, and his partner Bobby Brown were at a Colorado Springs apartment complex trying to apprehend Nguyen for skipping bail on a number of failure-to-appear warrants when they apparently were shot at.

Chapman apprehended Nguyen several blocks away from the incident early Wednesday morning, Whitlock said.

A statement on Chapman's Web site said, "Nguyen allegedly fired at least one shot at Chapman, and escaped on a red motorcycle."

But Whitlock said investigators didn't find evidence at the scene that conclusively proved a shooting occurred. "We didn't find any weapons, shell casings or bullets in cars or buildings which are commonly found at these types of scenes," he said.

Still, based on Chapman's account and several witnesses who said they heard gunshots, Whitlock said police will present the case to prosecutors to determine whether attempted homicide charges should be filed against Nguyen.

I'm glad they didn't hurt Leland!!!

Dogs okay but what irks me about them is how they bad mouth guns and say they don't use them, need them. The real reason is that he is a convicted felon and couldn't even if he wanted to. It is a matter of time before one of them gets seriously injured.

yes i know about his history, seen him on one of the talk shows and read his file on internetdata base and also read his website..
