A man was shot in the stomach and airlifted by LifeFlight into emergency surgery. Dalton was also wounded in the arm and taken into custody. Dalton claims he acted in self-defense after being physically confronted outside the courthouse, where he was present as a defendant in a civil case. He was livestreaming at the time and remained on camera while speaking to first responders — rating his own pain a 6 out of 10 and saying he hoped the man he shot would be okay. But two social media posts are complicating that narrative significantly. Ten hours before the shooting, Dalton posted on social media describing what now reads like a predicted outcome. Then, while the man he shot was in emergency surgery, Dalton posted on Facebook calling it a win and signing off with "stay strapped, stay based." This comes just days after Dalton was arrested in Nashville at a steakhouse for allegedly refusing to pay a nearly $400 bill — charged with theft of services, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. District Attorney General Robert Nash confirmed Dalton as a suspect and confirmed he fired the weapon. The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been announced. ChudTheBuilder has built his platform by filming himself using racial slurs against Black people in public to provoke reactions on camera. The man he shot reportedly warned him to stop using that language before the confrontation turned physical.
