SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:
At about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, May 18, 2021, the Vermont State Police was called to a private residence on Ballard Road in the town of Georgia to conduct a welfare check on an adult man experiencing a mental-health crisis, and witness reports of gunshots inside the home. Troopers from the St. Albans Barracks responded along with the Franklin County Sheriff's Department and EMS first responders. Ballard Road was closed while troopers attempted to make contact with the man. After several hours, police accessed the residence and determined the man was seriously injured as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The man was transported by helicopter to the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington for treatment. No criminal charges are expected, and no further information is available. Ballard Road was re-opened after about five hours. |
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it. |
