PHOENIX -- Phoenix police say a father jumped from a second-story window and shot his daughter's ex-boyfriend as the man was violently attacking her.

Officers responded to a residence near 51st Avenue and Beardsley Road at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday and found 26-year-old Daniel Fuches with two gunshot wounds.

Detectives determined the 27-year-old female victim and her ex had been out drinking.

During a ride home, both began arguing and Fuches allegedly choked the woman in her front yard.

The woman's father heard the commotion, grabbed a pistol and fired a warning shot from the second story.

Still armed, the father jumped out of a window and shot Fuches twice -- once in the leg and once in the groin.

Fuches faces charges of assault. It has not been determined if the 56-year-old father will be charged.
