The Hall County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that occurred Thursday, Oct. 19, at a residence in the 4800 block of Jess Helton Road in northern Hall County.
Deputies responded to the scene around 5:30 p.m. and found an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper right arm. The shooter left the scene prior to the arrival of law enforcement. The victim and the shooting suspect know one another, so the shooting is not believed to be a random crime.
HCSO criminal investigators do not have a motive for the shooting at this time, a sheriff’s office spokesperson says. The search for the shooter continues.
The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment. He remains hospitalized at last report.
