dispatched to a residence on Lakefront Drive in regards to a shooting. While
enroute the officer was notified that a separate call had come in about a male
subject at Coosa Corner that had been shot on Lakefront Drive. A Leesburg

those who were involved. The subject that had been shot was transported to a
nearby hospital and treated for a non life threatening injury. After statements
were completed, officers went to Lakefront Drive and conducted an
investigation. A signed search warrant was later obtained and executed on

Investigators.
Upon ex*****on of the search warrant, it was found the four individuals
occupied the home. A search of the house was conducted and resulted in a
large quantity of illegal narcotics that were seized and the suspected gun that
was involved during the above-mentioned shooting.
The shooting incident will be presented to a grand jury on a later date. All subjects involved are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
