The victim, speaking to the Hispanic juvenile, noted the boy spoke good English but when he questioned him about the theft, he suddenly couldn’t speak it anymore. The officers questioned the boy, who couldn’t remember which story he was going with, so he said he didn’t speak Spanish either, nor remember his birthday.

He was taken to the hospital and will recover. The man who shot him was there and voluntarily spoke to the police. Short version is that the person shot and the man who shot him got into an argument and the person shot pulled a gun. The other man, upon seeing this, pulled his and fired, striking the man in the chest. The man who is in the hospital was charged with aggravated assault. Oddly enough, both men were armed at the time of the argument.
Other Things

She got mad and said “I gave my buddy your address and he’s on the way to see you. Now you have something to worry about. These people kill over stuff like this.”
Fraud
A 53-year-old woman reported that someone used her personal information to rent an apartment in Texas in 2009. She found this when she ran her credit history.
IRS Scam
A man was contacted by someone claiming to be an IRS agent who told him he owed $2,800 and he needed to pay it today or be arrested. He followed the instructions to purchase a Money Gram Card and, after paying it, realized it was a scam. How many times have we gone through this?Repeat after me: The IRS doesn’t arrest you. The IRS doesn’t take Money Gram / Money Pak Cards.
A man called the police on June 9 reporting that he received a call from a Lt. Johnson from the Fulton Sheriff’s Department regarding a warrant. The lieutenant said a payment of $1,388 would take care of the arrest. He was prompted to obtain two MoneyGram cards, for $1,000 and $388, and give that info to the lieutenant, which he did. The money was immediately taken off the card. He went to the sheriff’s department and found that he had been duped by an imposter.
