Steven Swafford was stunned when he saw a naked man standing in the front doorway of a house, clutching a gun with both hands and pointing it at his girlfriend’s head.

“I yelled at him and said, ‘Oh my God. What are you doing?'” Swafford told a jury during testimony Thursday in Douglas County District Court. “There was no reaction. No reaction at all.”

The gunman on that night of Oct. 14, 2001, was Stephen Meeker, Swafford said.

Moments later gunfire erupted in the 1200 block of Bison Court in Baldwin. Meeker fired the 9 mm Ruger pistol he was holding four times, with three of the bullets striking Swafford, according to court testimony.

Meeker, 34, Baldwin, is being tried on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault and attempted aggravated battery.

Swafford, 31, Lawrence, said he had been at the home of Kerry Chalmers, his girlfriend, the night of the shooting. Chalmers lived next door to Meeker and his wife, Erin.

Swafford said Chalmers became angry because Erin Meeker allegedly made derogatory comments to Chalmers’ children. Chalmers stormed over to the Meekers’ house to confront Erin Meeker about the incident.

Hard feelings between the neighbors over various matters involving their children had been ongoing for several months, Chalmers said during her testimony.

“I was angry  I was very angry,” Chalmers said under questioning by Assistant Dist. Atty. Dan Dunbar.

Chalmers said she yelled at Erin Meeker to stop bothering her children and threatened to “kick her ass” if she didn’t. Erin Meeker then shut the door, and Chalmers said she turned to walk away.

The door then flew open again, Chalmers said, and she turned to see Stephen Meeker with the pistol.

“He was in a military stance, legs spread, both hands on the gun,” Chalmers said. “He was completely naked.”

Chalmers said the gun was pointed at her head about a foot away.

“I thought I was dead,” she said. “I thought he was going to blow my head off.”

Meeker turned his attention to Swafford when Swafford yelled and started running toward him. Swafford and Chalmers said they heard four gunshots. Then Meeker retreated inside the house.

“It took me a second to realize I’d been shot,” Swafford said. “I took off running, jumping around because I thought he was going to kill me.”

Swafford said he was shot in the right hand, the front of the left hip and the left arm just above the elbow.

Stephen Meeker later surrendered peacefully to Baldwin Police.

Under questioning from Stephen Meeker’s attorney, Jim Rumsey, Chalmers denied that she entered the Meekers’ house and threatened to kill Erin Meeker.

The prosecution could wrap up its case today, but the trial is expected to continue Monday.
