Shots fired at home in Grundy CountyREWARD OFFERED
The family of the victim is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to call the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office at 932-692-3466.
A Grundy County, Tenn., father says his family won’t feel safe until a suspect is found in connection with shots fired into a home that struck his 17-year-old son in the head.
To encourage any witnesses, the family is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, said Benji Goins, father of shooting victim Timmy Goins, a Grundy County High School junior.
Goins says he feels lucky to have his son alive at home and that he has no idea who apparently fired a high-powered rifle into the teen’s grandmother’s home about midnight Sunday. The home is between Tracy City and Coalmont on State Route 56, the main highway between the two towns.
“He was at his grandmother’s house,” the father said Tuesday. “He was sitting in front of the window watching the TV and somebody shot through the window, [the bullet] grazed his head, went through the TV, through the wall and out the other end of the house.
