Authorities in Georgia say woman shot and wounded a teenager

MACON, Ga. – Authorities in central Georgia say a 67-year-old woman shot and wounded a teenager.

The Telegraph newspaper in Macon reports (http://bit.ly/2aU6B8w ) Delores Gibson-Council told police she encountered a group of young people about 8:30 p.m. Saturday as she was driving down the street. She said she honked her horn and a 14-year-old boy came to her door and threatened her, and she shot him in the abdomen.

The teen was listed in critical but stable condition.

Gibson-Council is charged with aggravated assault. She was being held without bond in the Bibb County jail. It wasn’t immediately clear whether she had an attorney who could comment.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said in a release that Gibson-Council’s home was burglarized earlier Saturday, and she thought the teen was involved. Investigators are looking into that.
