Augusta, GA
One person killed in shooting along Windsor Spring Road
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – One person was killed in a shooting Thursday afternoon at Windsor Spring Road and Rosier Road.
The victim was a male, according to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, but little further information was available.
Richmond County Coroner Mark Bowen’s staff was called to the scene at 5:14 p.m.
Patrol cars and observers converged on the Get-N-Go convenience store, where yellow tape surrounded the apparent shooting scene. More people were watching the activity from another convenience store across the street.
The shooting is the latest in an outbreak of violence that’s claimed more than 90 lives in a little over a year across the CSRA.
The outbreak has affected communities large and small on both sides of the Savannah River, although as the largest community, Augusta has been hit hard.
Many of the victims and suspects have been young men, and authorities have blamed much of the problem on gangs.
