Shootings are not uncommon across the United States but it does come as a surprise to many here in Fayette County. Last night (Monday July 28, 2014) a victim was shot at the Walmart in Fayetteville, GA at the Fayette Pavilion shopping center on Pavilion Parkway.
After being shot the victim made their way to a Shell gas station in Riverdale where police dispatchers sent out the Clayton County police to respond. Upon arriving the victims identity and condition were unknown. They soon learned that the victim was not fatally wounded but had been shot in the hand. The investigation of the shooting has been turned over to Fayette County to investigate.
