GA: Gunfight in Milledgeville, Armed Victim Returns Fire, Stops attack, but is Wounded

Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered several witnesses in the 400 block of Earnest Byner Street. These witnesses informed law enforcement that they had been sitting outdoors when an armed man approached them and began shooting. In self-defense, one of the victims, who possessed a lawful firearm, returned fire. However, during this exchange, the victim, who was targeted by several other individuals who continued to shoot, was shot.

Milledgeville PD's detectives promptly arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. As a result of their work, detectives were able to identify one of the shooters as 18-year-old Travion Antwan Butts. Butts has since been taken into custody and is facing multiple charges, including six counts of Aggravated Assault and one count of Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Crime.
