Charles E. Poole, 47, pleaded innocent Tuesday in Warren Municipal Court to felonious assault in the shooting of the boyfriend of his 26-year-old daughter.
The shooting occurred Saturday morning at his daughter’s house on Francis Avenue Southeast.
Poole, of Idlylwild Street Northeast, went to the Warren Police Department on Saturday and confessed shooting the 26-year-old boyfriend a few hours earlier. The shooting occurred about an hour after the boyfriend is accused of beating the daughter; police have not charged him.
Charles Poole won’t comment publicly on the 2:20 a.m. shooting.
Warren detective Wayne Mackey said Tuesday that Charles Poole told him he fired the first shot into the floor and his goal was to get the boyfriend out of his daughter’s house.
Police believe at least two shots were fired that morning, with one of them lodging in the boyfriend’s calf muscle. Three bullet shell casings were found at the scene.

"The shooting occurred about an hour after the boyfriend is accused of beating the daughter..."
An hour later, he has no justification.
There is no dought in my mind,I would of done the same thing,but i might have shot him in the nut's to do some serious damage....job well done
It was a domestic matter. The police should have been called during the daughters beating. There must have been something else going on behind the scenes that we do not know about!
