Masked gunman fires shots in home invasion in northeast Macon

A northeast Macon man dodged bullets Monday afternoon during a home invasion.

Bibb County sheriff's deputies are looking for two men with weapons after shots were fired at an apartment resident off Gray Highway.

Shortly after 12:30 p.m. Monday, deputies issued a lookout for two black males in ski masks who are accused of kicking in someone's door at the Overlook Gardens Apartments at 1400 Gray Highway.

One of the men, who were both dressed in all black, fired two shots after finding 25-year-old Michael Palmer at home, said Sgt. Linda Howard, a public affairs officer of the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

Palmer was not hit by the bullets.

The armed robbery suspects reportedly did not take anything before they left the scene in a tan or gold Honda, but the model of the vehicle was not immediately clear.

No further information was immediately available, but anyone with information is urged to call the Bibb Sheriff's Office at 478-751-7500 or phone anonymous tips to Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 877-68-CRIME.
