ATLANTA (AP) – A prosecutor says he has fundamental questions about a suburban Atlanta sheriff’s account of conducting “police training exercises” when he accidentally shot a female real estate agent inside a model home for sale in a subdivision well outside his jurisdiction.
But so far, Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter says he’s getting no help finding answers from Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill.
Porter says the placement of items at the scene raises questions in his mind about the explanation that Hill was doing police training.
Porter says Hill told 911 dispatchers that he was doing police training Sunday when 43-year-old Gwenevere McCord was shot in the abdomen and critically wounded.
Porter said Wednesday that McCord remains unable to tell investigators what happened, and Hill still refuses to do so.
