WINDER, Ga. — A Georgia tow truck company is offering the community of Winder more than just a lift following the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School last week.
The school itself has been closed since Wednesday after a gunman opened fire, killing four people and injuring several others.
Timothy Culliton, the owner of All County Towing, said he was at the tow yard when he first heard about the shooting.
"I was heartbroken right away to know that something like that could happen in our backyard. But, my second instinct was pretty much to figure out how we could help," he told 11Alive.
Culliton posted on Facebook that it was offering a free tow to those whose vehicles were still on the school's property.
"Just reliving the event by having to go anywhere near a scene like that...I just wanted to help, you know, prevent that from anybody else in this area so they can get their rest and kind of overcome it," he explained.
Culliton added he's towed dozens of vehicles back to their owners thus far, and the calls haven't stopped.
"We have to do what we do as a community to help each other and get past this," he added.
