Before he allegedly made the fateful decision early Friday afternoon to break into the Loganville home of an armed mother of two, Paul Ali Slater was spotted outside of another Walton County residence.
There, according to Walton Sheriff Joe Chapman, he was confronted by the homeowner, who asked Slater if he was looking for someone in particular.
“He told her he was supposed to meet Coach Williams,” Chapman said.
When pressed further, Slater jumped into his car and drove away, eventually ending up at Henderson Ridge Drive, where he was shot five times, authorities said. The 32-year-old is reportedly clinging to life at Gwinnett Medical Center.
Hospital officials on Monday declined comment on Slater’s condition, but Chapman said over the weekend that the alleged burglar, whose lungs, liver and stomach were punctured, had been placed on a ventilator.
Meanwhile, the mother of 9-year-old twins is being hailed as as hero in a story that’s become a rallying cry for gun rights advocates concerned about possible new restrictions on firearms.
