Henry County, GA —
A 72-year-0ld man was awakened by noises early Wednesday morning, and after he retrieves his firearm he encounters two suspects in his garage.
The homeowner tells police he fired a warning shot into the air and one of the suspects fired back and struck the victim in the abdomen. Police responded to the shooting at a home on Avalon Drive in McDonough.
The victim was taken to Grady Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
A witness tells police they spotted a newer model silver or gray dodge pickup truck leaving the area shortly after the shooting.
Car break-ins were also reported in the area. It's unknown if the suspects knew the victim
Anyone with information about the home invasion and shooting is asked to contact Henry County Police at 770-228-8304.
