Investigators say they were called out to the station around 5 p.m. Thursday afternoon and found Taylor with a gunshot wound.
Sims was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault, possession of a gun during a felony, and possession of a gun by a convicted felon. Taylor is being charged with aggravated assault. Investigators said Taylor’s injury was not serious.
