Charges against Michael Shavers, the man accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend outside a Lookout Valley Waffle House last week, were bound over to a grand jury Friday morning.

Police say Shavers shot Ashley Harris, 22, and Joshua Maples, 25, as they walked out of the Waffle House on Cummings Highway in the early hours of Feb. 11.

Shavers ran from the scene, but a fugitive task force found him hiding out in a Dade County, Ga. cave later that day.

Both victims and Shavers appeared before Judge Lila Statom Thursday and described the shooting, but Statom said she’d been asked to wait until a detective could be present to finish the hearing.

On Friday she sent both counts of attempted first degree murder to a grand jury. Shavers’ bond is $500,000 in each case.
