These posts are based on our Good Guy with a Gun calendar. Today’s post is essentially the same as the calendar version.

For most of a Tuesday, 31-year-old Jullius Devin Collins had been telling members of his own family he was coming to shoot them.

As handsome as he is charming. Photo courtesy of the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.

A little after 7:30 that evening, he showed up at the family’s East Hall County home with a gun and found two of them outside — a 27-year-old man and an adult woman. He fired, hit the man in the leg, and missed the woman.

The man had a handgun of his own. He fired back, hitting Collins once in the gut.

Collins ran.

A deputy found him a short while later, walking down a nearby highway with a wound he wasn’t going to talk his way out of.

Collins faced two felony counts — aggravated assault, and aggravated assault under Georgia’s Family Violence Act — and was held without bond.

We don’t know how Collins is related to the man or woman he victimized.

So there it is: One short report, no follow-up, no names for either victim, no quotes from anyone involved. The Good Guy with a Gun isn’t a myth: He’s just under-documented.
