Former Lamar County sheriff Joe Buice remained in stable condition Saturday morning at Grady Hospital in Atlanta.

He is recovering from a gunshot wound suffered in the line of duty Friday afternoon.

Buice was hit in the cheek by a round from an assault rifle. The bullet went through his neck and lodged in his shoulder. He had surgery last night, came through it well and the family hopes multiple tubes will be removed today.

The other victim of the shooting was hit in the face by flying glass when a bullet hit his vehicle. He was reportedly released from the hospital early Saturday.

Our prayers go out to Joe and Mark for your speedy recovery. Innocent people did not deserve to be hurt. I don't understand why people want to hurt themselves much less others. My mother always told me as a child "Nothing is so bad that you would want to take your own life. God will never give you more than you can handle." Obviously this guy needed some severe help and others did not pick up on his escalating behavior. His family needs prayers also because they are hurting as well and probably have no idea why he did what he did. It's sad this man thought divorce was the end of the world and wanted to take his own life and hurt others in the process.

...God will never give you more than you can handle....

Can you tell me where that is in the scriptures? Thats not what I read

1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Isnt this talking about temptation? Not situations in life but when we are tempted to sin? I understand what your saying, but, temptation is not situations

I wanted to let Joe and his family know that over the weekend at The Men’s Conference at First Baptist Woodstock,It is an annual event over two weekends with 10 to 12 thousand men attending, They had prayer for his recovery. Just wanted to let you know that people all over the state are with you.
