Suspect dead after being shot during attempted home invasion
Author: WBIR Staff
MCMINN COUNTY, Tenn. — An Athens man is dead after victims claim he was attempting to invade a residence with several people inside and fired a shot at another person, according to the McMinn County Sheriff’s Office.Sheriff Joe Guy said McMinn County deputies were dispatched to a residence on County Road 114 around 1:30 a.m. Sunday to a report of shots fired.
When deputies arrived, they found Sante Mack, 39, lying in the yard, severely injured from a gunshot wound, according to officials. Deputies helped Mack as detectives responded to the scene and began an investigation.
Sheriff Guy said it appeared Mack had been at the residence earlier on Saturday evening and had a previous relationship with one of the females who were there.
Officials said Mack had apparently returned to the residence after midnight and was attempting to enter the residence through a window. When the people inside confronted him, Mack assaulted one of the females with the gun, then fired a shot at them.
A male in the residence, Jesse V. Applebee, 34, was also armed and fired a shot that struck Mack, as the three females in the residence retreated further inside. Mack fell outside and the people in the residence called 911, according to the sheriff’s office.

Bodycam footage contradicts Sheriff’s Office’s initial account of how deputy shot homeowner
Conor Hughes and Daniel J. Gross
Video captured by a Greenville County deputy’s body camera when the deputy shot and injured a Simpsonville homeowner in June contradicts the agency’s original account of the events leading up to the incident.
The video, released Monday morning, shows the deputy shot the man through the window of his house. Initially, the Sheriff’s Office said the man was shot after he opened the door and pointed his gun at the deputy. In the video, the man never opened his door.
“The Sheriff’s Office’s statement for weeks after the shooting was that my client opened his front door and aimed at a deputy and you can look at that body cam – that ends that version,” attorney Beattie Ashmore told The Greenville News Monday after the Sheriff’s Office released the clips of footage. “It’s difficult to explain how something like this could have happened.”
Ashmore is representing the homeowner, Dick Tench, who he described as a “fiercely-patriotic” citizen and concealed weapons permit holder from Simpsonville.
It’s unclear on the video whether the Tench pointed a gun at the deputy, but in an exchange with the officer that’s on video, the man acknowledges he did not know who the deputy was and that he was protecting his home.
Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Jimmy Bolt declined to comment Monday on the video or on their account of the incident after it first occurred.
Bolt also declined to comment on whether the deputy identified himself as law enforcement at any point before the audio starts.

Two morts, one inconvenienced, and none in the wind today, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. The fellow in the hospital may be the victim of a bad shoot, something we’ll keep an eye on.

Seems to me that depitty in Simpsonville got some ‘splainin’ to do.
“…and two out of three ain’t bad.” Agree with Ex, he says/camera says. Home tater needs to man up, you screw up, own up. Screw up, get caught up in the lie, just gonna get worse. Don’t believe me, just ask Ol’ Less Brown, the lying sack of sh^t from Elko Nevada who is hiding behind his granddaughter’s skirt tail.
I think I learned this life’s lesson when I was about 5.
What a gorgeous Colt ‘03!
Remember when Colt built handguns?
Neither do they…
Look again at the box. Those are modern barcodes.
Colt put the 1903 and 1908 back into limited production.
How long did it take to come out with the new 1903’s. I remember reading about it a few years ago that a certain company got the machine rights from Colt to make a limited amount of the 1903’s and then Colt was going to take over and start manufacturing them. I see the original oldies at the Gun shows but they want quite a few dollars to buy one which is more than the three hundred bucks I could have bought one back in 2008.
At least Mack didn’t bring a knife to the gun fight.
Nothin’ sez lovin’ like a good old fashioned stalking. Especially when the object of your misplaced affection is already married to someone else, and has been for quite awhile.
One less dumbass in the world. And the gubberment will be saving some money on SocSec.
Did he have any family who will miss him? And was he on meds that he either ran out of, or stopped taking?
