Tara Danielle
McGaha, 34, left, has been charged with assault with a deadly
weapon inflicting serious injury, stemming from an incident that occurred over
the weekend.
On Sunday, August 12, 2007, at approximately 6:21 am, the
Burke County Sheriff's Office responded to 6955 Nuckolls Drive off Goldmine
Road in reference to a subject with a gunshot wound to the leg. |
|
| Deputies arrived at
the scene and spoke to the victim, William Christopher Goins, of Granite Falls,
NC. |
| |
| Goins stated that he and
his girlfriend, Tara McGaha, had been arguing and McGaha reportedly shot him
once in the leg with a .22 caliber rifle. |
| |
| Detectives with the
Sheriff's Office were contacted and began an investigation. After interviewing
Goins and McGaha, as well as reviewing all circumstances, investigators found
that McGaha had no justification in using deadly force. |
| |
| Detectives arrested
McGaha and she was confined at the Burke Catawba Detention Facility. She was
placed under a $50,000.00 secured bond. First court appearance is scheduled for
August 13, 2007. |
