Teen says 2 men shot him after questioning

An Augusta teen was shot in the leg early Sunday morning, according to a Richmond County Sheriff's Office report.

Police were summoned to the 2100 block of Vandivere Road about 5 a.m. Sunday. When a deputy arrived, Gabriel Deanita Davis, 17, was on the floor with a gunshot wound to his left leg.

He said he had been on the phone when two men he did not know, toting handguns and wearing T-shirts covering their faces, approached him and asked several questions about one of his friends. After Gabriel answered, one of the men shot him in the leg.

He was taken by ambulance to University Hospital's emergency room, the report stated.

What was he doing roaming around at +/-4:30 am? And who was he talking to on the phone? I had a 12:30am curfew at that age, I was still living under my parents roof......

rbk

My curfew at that age was 11 pm!

pantherluvcik

Well I had a curfew as well, it was 10:30, but that doesn't mean I followed it. And I was never a bad kid, never been arrested, just wanted to talk and stay up late. Most kids break curfew and sneak out, can't watch them every minute.

You don't have to watch kids every minute, just make them think you do. That won't make them behave all of the time, but it will give them pause.

The last time I said that nothing good happens at 5:00am I was jumped on. I will let you all handle this one. I am not clear as to if the shooting took place inside or outside the apartment. Since nothing about forced entry was in the article. One would assumed....Naw I wont go there.

DoubleD

I'm with Hypo. I don't ever prefer to be out much past midnight. If you are out at 2AM you can bet that majority of drivers are under the influence. Nothing good is going on during these hours except for crime and people looking for their next victim.

This story is too vague to make-out what transpired, I don't reckon the victim is to blame but the gun-toting & shooting dangerous thugs who shot another HUMAN are to blame!!! I despise these thugs. Reckon I should hang-out on the streets from midnight to dawn just to vent my revenge on these punk a*% thugs.

This article says the victim was found on the FLOOR. A person that is on the floor is inside a building, and not roaming around. It doesn't really matter what time this happened. The victime could have been up at 5 a.m. making donuts for all I care. The problem isn't that he was up and talking on the phone. The problem is that he was shot. As a parent, I would not want my 17 year old up at all times of night either, but I don't think that I would be mad that he was shot while on the phone at 5 in the morning. I know for a fact that I would be mad just because he was shot. I agree with patherluvcik and PatT.

The kid was buglarizing the place. The other two had the same idea, but the kid had beaten them there. Angry, they shot him in the leg--end of story.

patriciathomas

oh memphis, that's going to stir the poo.

Two men approached him in his own apartment that he did not know at 5:00am ??? Yea right... Thugs = violence... Either drug deal gone bad or they couldn't come to terms on how to split the stolen goods.

Reality

I think you should re-read the article, he was on the floor somewhere when the cops arrived. How could the gun totting thugs with shirts over there faces confront him if he was inside???If he was inside, why did the dumb [filtered word] open the door????

Its amazing reading the comments you post. When it comes to sarah palin's daughter and this young men. But you live in a suburb of Augusta. So its to be expecting these comments. Republicans do very well in elections when it comes to people voting for them. Who live in the suburbs of Augusta. So these comments are typical of the right wing.
