The shooting happened at the home of Tanner's sister-in-law.

Tanner was facing attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault and battery charges.

Tanner's step-father Ernest Williams told the News-Journal authorities could have "done it in a different way."

The U.S. Marshals Service released few details about the incident.
