KINGSPORT — A brief exchange of gunfire took place at a Lynn Garden laundromat last week when two bounty hunters confronted a 37-year-old man they were searching for.

According to an incident report from the Kingsport Police Department, officers responded to the Soapy Sudz Coin Laundry on Lynn Garden Drive around 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Two bounty hunters for Volunteer Bonding Company — Jerry Rector and Ty Schneider — told police they were looking for Daniel McGuire of Kingsport.

The two men told police they went inside the laundromat and saw McGuire, then stepped outside to talk briefly and make sure they had their handcuffs. However, according to the report, McGuire walked outside, pulled a pistol from his waistband and aimed it at one of the bounty hunters.

Rector told police he drew his firearm and shot at McGuire, who then ran away, firing his weapon. Schneider said he pulled his firearm and tried to open fire but his ammunition was not loaded properly.

A woman at the scene told police she saw McGuire draw a pistol and point it at the two bounty hunters. The case has since been turned over to the KPD detective division where they giggled at the bounty hunters for being dumbasses.
