(WKRN) \u2014 A Hendersonville business owner and his wife survived a gun battle with an armed man inside the couple\u2019s collectible shop early Wednesday morning. As for the suspect, he\u2019s facing multiple charges \u2014 including attempted homicide \u2014 following his release from the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Hendersonville Police Department, surveillance footage from The Cache on West Main Street shows a man \u2014 later identified as Dylan Bryan, 33, of East Tennessee \u2014 using a hammer and smashing the store\u2019s glass doors around 4 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sounds like explosions going off while he\u2019s getting in, and then he tiptoes around like he\u2019s the Hamburglar,\u201d HPD Assistant Chief Scott Ryan told News 2.<\/p>\n<p>Video shows the suspect going behind the counter. Then, authorities said he heard one of the owners in a back room, so he fled the store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think everything\u2019s over with,\u201d Ryan said.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just moments later, Bryan can be seen coming back to the door, pulling what law enforcement described as a 9mm from his backpack, ducking back through the broken glass into the store, and rushing toward the back of the shop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s looking to do harm at that point,\u201d Ryan stated.<\/p>\n<p>By this point, the co-owner of The Cache, Roger McCandless, was ready and armed with a shotgun loaded with birdshot.<\/p>\n<p>From multiple cameras inside the store, you hear the gun battle as McCandless fired one round from his shotgun. Police said the birdshot, fired from about 30 feet away, struck Bryan in the stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Video shows Bryan quickly retreating, but while doing so, officials said he opened fire. News 2 counted as many as many as five rounds fired by the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities later learned that Bryan\u2019s bullets hit the floor, the ceiling, and the wall, even passing through to the next business, according to The Cache\u2019s co-owner, Shera McCandless.<\/p>\n<p>News 2 documented the metal parts of the front door that were peppered with birdshot.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the gunfire, neither Roger nor his wife, Shera, were hurt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt happened so fast you don\u2019t have time for emotions. The problem got resolved pretty quick. Right now, it\u2019s good guys one, bad guys zero. We\u2019re happy about that because it could have went the opposite very, very quickly,\u201d Roger explained.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan was reportedly unfamiliar with the area, so while he escaping in the darkness, he fell a great distance \u2014 which Ryan estimated was about a story high \u2014 and broke his pelvis.<\/p>\n<p>Police dash camera footage shows the armed man limping into the street, falling to the ground, tossing his firearm, and surrendering to law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan credited the store owner for being ready to protect his family and his property: \u201cThis owner was prepared for the situation, and had he not been prepared, I\u2019m afraid this would have been a complete slaughter. There was nothing good going to come from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to officials, Bryan was brought to a hospital, where he\u2019s being treated for the shotgun wound to the stomach and the broken pelvis. Upon his release, he faces two counts of attempted homicide, attempted robbery, aggravated burglary, possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony, and possession of stolen property.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the McCandless family wants everyone to know they are okay and The Cache is open for business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Birdshot&#8230;Birdshot?
