The Gist: A regular morning at Waffle House on Chambers Road in Macon took a dark turn when gunfire led to four people, including the shooter, suffering leg injuries.
The Details: Around 4 a.m., two men aged 33 and 29, along with a 28-year-old woman, entered the Waffle House to grab a meal. According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Darryes Monteze Hill, also present, unexpectedly opened fire.
The aftermath? All three visitors, and Hill himself are nursing gunshot wounds to their legs. They’re now at Atrium Health, with updates pegging their condition as stable.
In Context: Waffle Houses are familiar spots for a bite, especially after hours. This incident, however, thrusts a popular eatery into the limelight for all the wrong — but, sadly common — reasons. Hill now stares at multiple charges, including Aggravated Assault and firearm possession during a felony.
