The Hall County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an attempted murder-suicide at an Oakwood-area home.
Deputies responded to the shooting around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 2, in the 3000 block of Old Pleasant Hill Road. There, they located two individuals suffering from shotgun wounds.
According to the initial investigation, the suspect, Horace Owens, 82, shot his daughter, 62, and then shot himself. The shooting is the result of a domestic incident at the home, officials say.
Hall County Fire Services transported Owens and the victim to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville for treatment. The victim was in stable condition at last check, while Owens was in critical condition.
The incident remains under investigation by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office corrected the address it previously released to reflect that the shooting occurred in the Oakwood area, not Gillsville.
