Lamar County Deputy Shot

Chandler Gordy
A Lamar county deputy was shot Saturday night while answering a call in Milner.

A statement issued by the Lamar county Sheriff's office said that Deputy Justyn Weaver was on Moore street responding to a suspicious person call when the ambush style shooting occurred. The deputy was in the patrol car when the suspect came out of the woods firing a shotgun. Weaver was struck in the left arm with a birdshot load and had one pellet lodged under his right eye.

Chandler Gordy, 38, of an Old Milner Road address was arrested overnight along I-20 in St. Clair County, Alabama near Birmingham, sheriff White told Barnesville.com.

The deputy was airlifted to an Atlanta area hospital where he is expected to make a complete recovery.
