Jon Gosselin Pulls Gun on Paparazzo, Fires Warning Shot

Jon Gosselin may be heading to court after firing his gun at a female photographer who followed him home in Pennsylvania. The photographer plans to file a police report against the famous father, who recently revealed that he had been going through rough times.

According to reports, the incident occurred on Friday, when a female photographer followed the former reality star to his home and refused to leave the premises. Gosselin then pulled out his gun and fired a warning shot to convince her to leave, which she did.

"I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, which I withdrew and used to fire a warning shot away from the paparazzo," Gosselin told TMZ. "It is well within my rights under Pennsylvania law when someone is trespassing on private property."

He's considering filing his own lawsuit against her for trespassing but so far no paperwork has been filed. Gosselin recently admitted that he had hit "rock bottom" in his life and had not paid ex-wife Kate child support in four months. He contended that because the two have to buy two of everything, it makes up for the lack of child support.

"I don't have a relationship with Kate; there is no relationship... text and email. That's it," he told "Entertainment Tonight." "Kate and I both support the children financially because she takes care of school and all that stuff but I take care of the exact same things she takes care of. I buy their own groceries; they have their own groceries at my house, their own bedrooms, their own stuff… it's doubled."

Gosselin and Kate are currently in the midst of a multi-million dollar lawsuit, as Kate alleges that Jon took private information from her home and used it to help a friend write a damning "tell-all" e-book. He has denied all charges and filed to have the lawsuit dismissed, but a judge has not ruled one way or the other yet.
