A Walker County, Georgia, man is recovering from a gunshot wound he sustained Sunday morning during an argument with three other people, according to a news release from Sheriff Steve Wilson.

Around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Walker County deputies were dispatched to the 200 block of Sequatchie Trail in Lafayette, Georgia, on a call that a man had been shot in the leg.

Upon arrival, deputies found James Lee, 39, who lived at the home, had been shot in the leg with a small caliber handgun, Wilson states. Lee and three other adults, who have not been named, “had been in an argument when the handgun discharged and a single round struck him in the leg,” Wilson states. Lee was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

No charges have been filed in the incident.

Wilson said the shooting investigation is active and ongoing.
