He could have had a few. Doubt we'll ever know for sure. Bad guy had the drop on him and he went for it anyway and lost. Seems like a situational awareness fail. Similar to the guy on here who had friends get robbed by guys hiding behind a dumpster in Virginia Highlands in Atlanta. I am sick of this crap happening in Savannah. It's about to ruin everything. |

3am? Was somebody a little drinky? There's all kinds of people walking around savannah at that hour. Most are tipsy, but not all. At 3am the bars are all closed. Everyone is on their way somewhere. It was really cold last night, so I don't think many people were milling about outside. Seems like this guy was just roaming hotels and found a target of opportunity. |

Hope he'll be okay, but sounds like he got rolled by his hooker or drug dealer. Alternatively, could have shot himself while being stupid and blamed it on a made up assailant. In any event, this story is missing some moving parts. Second part is the first thing that came to my mind, shot himself and made up the story. |
