An argument escalated into a gunfight between two neighbors in Indiana Wednesday after one of the men, who was riding his lawnmower at the time, drew a handgun.

An Indiana prosecutor’s office released footage of the gunfight, showing Jeffery Weigle, 59, and his neighbor, Dean Keller, 49, the Associated Press reported Thursday. Weigle reverses his lawnmower in the video, brandishing what looks like a revolver.

Keller, an Indianapolis firefighter, reacts quickly, drawing his own handgun, firing and hitting Weigle in the chest, according to police reports.

The exchange of fire continues for 30 seconds before Weigle is seen walking off screen. Keller was unharmed.

Keller will not be charged in the shooting because he was acting in self defense, County Prosecutor Brad Cooper told the Indianapolis Star Wednesday.

“The decision to not file charges on Keller was a simple application of Indiana law and should not be looked upon as condoning the behavior of either party,” Cooper said.

Weigle’s medical condition remains unknown.
