Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- It was Saturday afternoon, the 26th of November, on Highway 138  in Georgia. The traffic was heavy after the college football game between Georgia and Georgia tech.

The game had been a nail biter.  Georgia Tech  beat Georgia 28-27 in the last 30 seconds of the game.  In the heavy traffic after the close game, emotions may have been running high.

That was when Dontavious Chancy pulled in ahead of four men in a pickup truck. Chancy said that they tried to run him off the road. All the vehicles ended up stuck in traffic near Forrester Cemetery Road. The four men approached Chancy’s vehicle, a large, late model, silver grey van. They were yelling.  Chancy said they called him a monkey, and one of them had a knife. From ajc.com:

The men got out of the truck and confronted the driver, Chapman said. One of the men swang at the driver multiple times through the car’s window. At this point, the driver got a pistol and shot the man who was trying to hit him.

Eric Levett, Rockdale County Sheriff happened to be stuck in the traffic, several cars back from the shooting. Immediately after the shooting, he left his vehicle and took control of the scene.

From wsbtv.com: >

“They began yelling, ‘this guy just shot my brother, he just shot my brother,’” Levett told Artz.

Levett said he was headed home Saturday, when he witnessed the end of the road-rage incident on Georgia 138 in Walton County.

He said he heard men yelling and then gunfire rang out seconds later.

I KNOW from the lack of specific information in the article that no conclusion can be drawn either way.

I note that you're being rather adamant about a possibility that is rather unlikely given the circumstance, so it appears as if you've made conclusions of your own.

[RegulatorCountry]

It was a justifiable shooting in my opinion and likely in the opinion of any who witnessed it, however it would have been odd for such a confrontation to have occurred in front of a Deputy Sherriff, wouldn’t you say?

the gun “shat” bullets.

I've owned guns that fit that description.

[RegulatorCountry]

“Shat” implies less than lethal velocity, although some might disagree after a bout of salmonella. Maybe “spat” works better.

[SIDENET]

I was thinking about guns that wouldn’t group worth a darn.

[RegulatorCountry]

That makes sense. Sort of a buckshot scatter.

[MortMan]

Incorrect. In my original post I stated that the article is ambiguous, and does not support any conclusion regarding culpability of the shooter for the incident. That is my basis for debate - that we DO NOT KNOW.

What you or I THINK is immaterial to the truth.

Merry Christmas, FRiend.
