Joe Welborn plugged the bullet wounds with his index fingers to stop the bleeding.
“I reached down to kind of feel the area and I noticed blood on my hand,” said Welborn, of Demorest.
Welborn, 73, was one of two people to be shot when a gunman opened fire May 4 on Ga. 365 between Tribble Gap and Mud Creek Roads. Harvey Kerby, 54, of Gainesville was also wounded. The shooter, 26-year-old Rex Harbour of Snellville, later killed himself.
