KATHLEEN, Ga. — Two people were hurt and one person was arrested in an early-morning shooting in Houston County Sunday, according to an overnight press release from the Houston County Sheriff's Office.
They say that members of the sheriff's office's patrol division were dispatched to 205 W. Houston Drive in Kathleen at around 12:39 a.m. where there had been reports of gunfire, according to the press release.
When they arrived, deputies found two people who appeared to have been shot, the release said.
According to the sheriff's office, 33-year-old Rashaad Dyquan Williams was arrested at the scene and was taken to the Houston County Sheriff's Office Detention Center.
Williams is charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault, but the sheriff's office says that the investigation is still on-going and additional charges are "expected."
Both people who were shot were taken to the hospital where the sheriff's office says they are "in stable condition."
If you have any information about the shooting, the Houston County Sheriff's Office asks you to call Sgt. Nate Noler at 478-542-2085 or the Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 478-742-2330.
