A lawsuit has been filed against a Columbia County deputy, the sheriff, and the sheriff’s office after the deputy shoots at a dog, but strikes a woman standing on her front porch instead.
Tina Hight, the woman who was shot in August 2022, still has the bullet lodged in her shin. She’s now not only dealing with anxiety but also continuous doctor’s appointments.
She initially called 911 for help, but instead was shot on her own front porch she told Seven On Your Side.
In the video, Columbia County Deputy Brian Williams is heard shouting at the dog: “Get back, get your dog, I’ll kill this ************. Get your God**** dog.”
Williams then fires a warning shot, but that quickly escalates.
“You better get back. I’ll kill this” and then he shoots at the dog.
You just shot me,” Hight screams.
“I shot who?” the deputy asked.
Williams appeared to aim at a Pomeranian, but instead hit Hight who is standing right next to another deputy.
You shot my aunt,” said another woman.
“I didn’t shoot her,” Williams responds.
Yes, you did,” Hight responds. “You shot me.”
Later in the video, Williams claims one of Hight’s dogs scratched her – instead of her being shot.
“Very scary, I have never been shot before… I didn’t know… I knew I was hit, I didn’t know how bad, I didn’t understand,” Hight told 7OYS.
