was facing a judge’s order to turn over all weapons said he was supposed to give his weapons to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Saturday evening’s shooting rocked the CSRA and left many questioning how the incident transpired and when we would learn more he opened fire on deputies with one of those guns – one that had been altered to operate on full automatic James Blake Montgomery had raised concerns from authorities who thought he was altering guns to operate in fully automatic mode and was making pipe bombs After Columbia County deputies stopped him around 6:24 p.m Saturday in an RV on Interstate 20 to serve him with a protective order – presumably the one signed Thursday – he opened fire on them and that’s how Sheriff Clay Whittle believes Montgomery died His body was found hours later – as were a variety of bombs and explosive paraphernalia in the RV Whittle said that when officers approached Montgomery Montgomery fired a 9mm AR pistol that had been converted to fully automatic at the three deputies on the scene White was struck in the face and is in critical condition and has use of his extremities He is currently in surgery at Wellstar MCG hospital Whittle said White has a long recovery ahead of him but is “very upbeat and incredibly strong.” Deputy Andrew Brown was able to retrieve his gun and but I think they are the ones who brought this to an end,” said Whittle Brown dragged White to a patrol car and drove him to Doctors Hospital Doctors said Brown’s actions probably saved White’s life but veered into the cable barriers on the left side of the highway Montgomery was found dead in the RV hours later a robot and drones identified possible pipe bombs and possible drug paraphernalia in the RV One of the bombs was rigged with a remote switch

“be on the lookout” alert had been issued to law enforcement saying he was suspected of making pipe bombs and converting weapons to be fully automatic He’d been working odd jobs like landscaping and

they were from all varieties of agencies from local law enforcement to the Georgia State Patrol and Georgia Department of Natural Resources Officers were keeping traffic from getting on westbound I-20 from I-520 and they weren’t even letting vehicles get onto Bobby Jones Expressway toward Washington Road but the entire area was very active with law enforcement and I-20 was to remain closed for several more hours the RV was the focus of law enforcement alongside I-20 which was devoid of traffic except for police cars with flashing blue lights with a helicopter and Columbia County Sheriff’s

(@mrmoco301) (WAKA) — The sister of a woman who was struck and killed by a vehicle early Saturday is speaking out about what she calls a dangerous intersection and misinformation released by the Montgomery Police Department Saturday while attempting to cross Eastern Boulevard from the Sleep Inn hotel to a gas station across the street Family members say Barclay was partially deaf and had difficulty navigating the poorly marked intersection “There are no pedestrian crossings,” said her sister “There are no lights for a pedestrian to cross wearing one of her sister’s dresses to feel close to her believes Karla was trying to time her crossing by watching traffic signals She suspects Barclay never heard the two vehicles allegedly drag racing in the area “There were witnesses on the scene that said those people that killed my sister had been drag racing for over two hours,” Rasberry said “They had been up and down that road all night long.” Rasberry said she was told her sister died instantly and she witnessed Karla’s body lying in the intersection for several hours a statement from the Montgomery Police Department issued Saturday night claimed Barclay had been transported to a local hospital That discrepancy only added to Rasberry’s grief She never got in an ambulance,” Rasberry said That’s a whole different kind of grief — to think she might have been scared or knew she was dying.” Following a request from Action 8 News for clarification MPD issued a revised statement Sunday evening: “At the scene who sustained fatal injuries from the collision and was pronounced deceased at the scene.” loved arts and crafts and had a strong sense of fashion Her hearing loss had prevented her from holding a job but she had recently begun the process of applying for disability and obtaining a state ID “She can’t do anything without an ID,” Rasberry said through tears “There are a lot of people out there who get caught up in the system A simple fix could help a lot of people before they go too far down that road I think her legacy should be to live life to the fullest and live it for the Lord.” Rasberry says she plans to speak with city officials about adding a pedestrian

Sox’ decision to send shortstop Colson Montgomery, the No. 35-ranked prospect in baseball, to what they hope will be a slump-busting seminar in Arizona is atypical Montgomery, the Sox’ first-round draft pick in 2021 is off to a miserable start at Triple-A Charlotte which comes on the heels of a mostly rough 2024 season at the same level After beginning the season with a woeful .149/.223/.255 slash line in 23 games Montgomery was yanked from the lineup and sent to Arizona where he’s working with Sox hitting director Ryan Fuller and others at the team’s facility The hope is that the assignment will benefit a player projected to crack the major leagues at some point this summer and a guy who’s still very much an important part of the Sox’ long-term future But considering how disappointing the results have been for Montgomery at Triple-A ‘‘I don’t think it’s necessarily extreme,’’ Sox player-development director Paul Janish said during a media session Saturday ‘‘I’m glad that we were comfortable enough to pull the trigger on this earlier rather than later just because it’s something that I think can be a little bit of an ‘aha’ moment to get out of the affiliate day-to-day [life] and just breathe and get back into it ‘‘Other organizations have used it and done it it’s the type of thing we do with a guy we think a lot of It’s not the type of thing you necessarily do with everybody this is what we feel is best in terms of righting the ship.’ everything — this decision or any other decision we make about a player — is with their best interest at heart Janish said that the Sox hope Montgomery’s time in Arizona is brief and that he’ll be back in the Charlotte lineup soon right-handed pitcher Wikelman Gonzalez was the fourth piece of the return in the Garrett Crochet trade with the Red Sox Gonzalez recently was promoted to Charlotte ‘‘It’s not necessarily going to be one inning [at a time]; it’s going to be two to three innings depending on the pitch count,’’ Janish said ‘‘But the thought there is to get him comfortable with that role from a major-league contribution standpoint there’s some thought that he can help in the pen.’’ was almost exclusively a starting pitcher before last season when five of his 24 appearances in the Red Sox’ organization came in relief He made four starts at Double-A Birmingham before his promotion Janish said Gonzalez might reach the majors this season in his new role I think it’s very safe to assume you can see him,’’ Janish said The Sox scored three runs in the first inning of their 8-3 loss to the Astros but were outscored 8-0 after that with Astros outfielder Jake Meyers driving in seven of those runs including a tiebreaking three-run blow against reliever Penn Murfee in the sixth Terms
