HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — A Henry County homeowner is recovering after he was shot three times while trying to stop a man from breaking into his car.
The victim's wife told Channel 2's Audrey Washington that she had to duck as bullets crashed through the walls of her home on Combs Street in Locust Grove.
Then she found her husband, who had been shot three times in their driveway.
Hammock said he heard the gunshots early Tuesday morning and rushed to the victim’s home.
"The guy just turned around with a pistol and just started shooting," family friend Otis Hammock said.
Washington was at the house when the victim arrived home from the hospital. He has asked not to be identified. The man needs a wheelchair to get around following the shooting, Washington said. "It could've been a lot worse," Hammock said.
