First Responders were called to the same address for a leg wound. The
call escalated when it was determined that a man at the house had been
shot.Once deputies cleared the scene First Responders began treating the man for the gunshot wound to his upper right thigh and police began roping off the crime scene as they began their investigation. The man’s wife sat in the yard crying. She said that she did not know what happened other than she heard a gunshot and came into the front room to find her husband saying he was “okay” until she saw the blood. The man was stabilized and transported to the MCG Trauma Unit in Augusta, his condition has not been released.
