Georgia Man Dead After Drug Raid
Details are still sketchy, but it looks like police in Columbus, Georgia raided a home after an informant says he bought 4.5 grams of marijuana from 40-year-old Darrick Brockington. When police then raided the house, Brockington's father, 66-year-old Leroy Brockington, exchanged gunfire with police and was fatally wounded.
It isn't clear if the elder Brockington was selling, or aware that his son was selling. What does seem clear is that he's dead over 4.5 grams of marijuana.
This comes just days after another apparent mistaken on the home of an 18-year-old woman in Columbus.
