GRIFFIN — An ongoing dispute culminated Thursday in the shooting of a 17-year-old and the arrest of one of three suspects, Spalding County Sheriff Darrell Dix said.
Spalding County deputies responded to reports of a person shot on Sammy Circle. Upon arrival, they located a 17-year-old male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds
Wellstar EMS arrived on scene and transported the victim to Wellstar Spalding Medical Center where he was stabilized before being transported to an Atlanta area hospital for further treatment.

There is every indication that the incident was planned by the suspects before they arrived at the house, and it was their mission to shoot (the victim).”
Caley Bowen, 24, was taken into custody. She is charged with being a party to a crime, false imprisonment and kidnapping. She is currently being held without bond in the Spalding County Jail.
