Augusta, GA
One dead, another injured after shooting on Higdon Street
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -The Richmond County Coroner’s Office says they responded to a shooting death on Hidgon Street.
It happened early Saturday in the 1900 block of Higdon Street.
Officials say a male victim was shot at least once inside his house, and he has not been identified yet.
He was pronounced dead on the scene at 5:07 a.m.
According to the coroner, another victim was also shot and taken to the hospital with an injury that’s not life-threatening.
The year is off to a deadly start for the CSRA, now with five murders or suspicious deaths in Augusta, two homicides in Aiken, one in Waynesboro, one in Sparta and one in Monetta.
The slayings are among the latest in a more than two-year outbreak of violent crime that’s claimed about 200 lives across the CSRA.
Communities large and small have been affected on both sides of the Savannah River.
But as the largest city in the region, Augusta has been hit especially hard.
