FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida man who said he was only trying to protect his property is facing a serious charge.
Fort Lauderdale resident James Tenney was charged Friday with attempted manslaughter with a firearm.

Surveillance cameras in Tenney’s own home captured the Dec. 12 incident.
Paramedics transported the injured teen with an injury that was not life-threatening.
Tenney is being held on $15,000 bond.
