An Athens man was shot early Monday after Athens-Clarke police said he burglarized a home and encountered a resident armed with a gun.
The shooting occurred at about 5:50 a.m. on the 1000 block of Tallassee Road in north Athens.
The suspect, James E. Hill, 41, of Broad Street, was treated for an arm wound, then booked into the Athens-Clarke County Jail, where he remained Tuesday without bond.
“I’m glad he’s alive and I didn’t have to be the one to take his life,” the 32-year-old resident said Tuesday when contacted.
