Hall County Sheriff’s Office investigators have charged a Gainesville man with aggravated battery under the Family Violence Act in connection with a shooting this week off of GA 136/Price Road.
Deputies arrested Tony Joseph Savage, 45, early Wednesday morning at the Hall County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters.
Deputies responded to the initial call about the shooting on November 9 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville where the victim was transported for treatment.
According to the initial investigation, at approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday, Savage shot the 53-year-old woman in the abdomen with a pellet rifle. The incident occurred during a domestic dispute between Savage and the victim inside his residence in the 5000 block of North Forest Boulevard, officials say. The victim suffered serious injuries.
After the initial call, deputies located Savage at his residence, where they took him into custody without incident. Savage remained in the Hall County Jail without bond Wednesday afternoon.
The sheriff’s office is still investigating.
