SMYRNA, Ga. — A man in his seventies says he was shot in the face with a pellet while he was leaving a grocery store in Cobb County.
Smyrna police say they are investigating two similar incidents that happened in the same parking lot on New Year’s Day.
Police say they aren’t sure about the exact make or model of the pellet gun used, but say many of them look like real guns.
Susan Reid says her 72-year-old husband was walking out of the Kroger on South Cobb Parkway when he was hit in the face and chest. He didn’t immediately realize he was hit with pellets.
