Man arrested after woman shot at gun shop in downtown Newnan

Owens was arrested Saturday on charges of aggravated assault and murder. He is currently being held in the Coweta County Jail without bail.

The gun shop is located across from the Coweta Probate Court, within walking distance of City Hall and less than a mile from Newnan Police Headquarters.

In April 2022, three family members who worked at a shooting range and a store in Coweta were shot and killed by a customer, the GBI said. Jacob Christian Muse was charged with several counts, including murder of Tommy Richard Hawk Sr., the 75-year-old owner of Lock Stock and Barrel, his wife Evelyn Hawk, also 75, and their 18-year-old grandson Alexander “Luke” Hawk, a 12th-grader at East Coweta High School.

The city government is asking anyone with information about Friday's shooting to contact GBI Detective Steve McCook at 770-254-2355 ext. 136 or Lt. Chris Robinson at 770-254-2355 ext. 155.
