Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell is back home in Habersham, just hours after allegedly being shot by a former deputy. Terrell was wounded while responding to a 911 call about a domestic dispute in the Winding Stair subdivision off Hwy. 17. Deputy Bill Zigan was with him. He was shot multiple times.
Returning to the scene just hours after the initial call went out, Sheriff Terrell spoke exclusively with Now Habersham about his and Zigan’s conditions. He also responded to the overwhelming outpouring of community interest and concern:
“We did have an incident. I’m doing good. I did have to go to the emergency room. Bill Zigan’s going to spend the night in the hospital but he’s doing okay. We appreciate all your prayers and all your thoughts for his family and the other families affected tonight.”
Terrell was shot in the arm. Early reports indicated Zigan was hit in the shoulder. The alleged shooter, Anthony Giaquinta, was a former deputy and k-9 dog handler.
