A Georgia woman has been charged with attempted murder after shooting her neighbor during a dispute over barking dogs, authorities said Tuesday.
Fonda Spratt, 56, is accused of marching into her neighbor’s home in the 5200 block of Chattahoochee Street in Flowery Branch to confront her over barking dogs before pulling out a firearm and firing at her multiple times, the Flowery Branch Police Department said.
Officers responded just after 11:30 a.m. to a report of a shooting and found an adult female standing in the street with multiple gunshot wounds, police said.
The victim had been struck twice, and officers used a tourniquet before rushing her to a hospital. The victim was being treated at the hospital and was last known to be in stable condition.
