  • That’s right at City Hall and the County Comm. bldgs, how appropriate. 👹🤡🍦🍦🍦

  • This occurred out off of E. University Ave. near Newnans Lake. it’s a long way from the buildings downtown.

  • Since it was multiple shots, I’m surprised there was no gun in the victims car, unless maybe he/she had a passenger.
