Leesburg family recalled the moment a man armed with an AR-15-style rifle allegedly shot at their family gathering on Sunday, June 7, in an incident they said was racially motivated.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the 100 and 200 blocks of Autumn Leaf Drive after receiving multiple reports of a shooting in progress. The sheriff’s office said it stemmed from a “verbal altercation.”
The resident of the home on Autumn Leaf Drive told WALB her family was visiting for a family reunion that weekend.
