Wow. I'm not surprised this happened in Gwinnett. The county has recently become majority minority and some of these white folk are losing their damned minds over it.
I feel that as a veretan, he had more reason to not be reckless. Shooting in the air? Irresponsible gun use. And shooting him in the head after he backed out and apologized is just disgusting.
According to [his attorney], Sailors grabbed his gun as he headed outside, firing a warning shot into the air. He said he fired at Diaz only after Diaz accelerated his car toward him.
“He thought he was going to get run down,” the lawyer said.
But the police report indicates that the vehicle was leaving Sailors’ property when Diaz was shot. Lilburn police said they found his red Mitsubishi at the end of the driveway. Diaz was slumped over the steering wheel, blood covering his face and, the incident report states, struggling to breathe.
