HALL COUNTY, Ga. — A man is dead after a shooting in Gainesville Tuesday and now deputies are trying to find the people who pulled the trigger.
Hall County sheriff's deputies were called to a home along Brown Street off Old Athens Road just before 10:30 a.m. where they found Christopher Dixon. The 25-year-old was shot once in the chest, according to the sheriff's office.
Dixon was taken to the hospital where he died.
The sheriff's office said, initially, deputies were acting on information that two men involved in the shooting had barricaded themselves in a unit at the Harrison Square apartment complex. This is why the sheriff's office SWAT team was called to the area.
SWAT was able to get inside the unit where they believed the suspects were hiding but didn't find them, the sheriff's office said.
"At this time, Hall County Sheriff's Office investigators are following viable leads as they continue to search for the suspects. This incident is believed to be isolated," a spokesperson with the office said.
