FOOD FIGHT!

"MOUNT AIRY, GA — Habersham County authorities say before turning the gun on himself, a father shot his stepdaughter Tuesday in Mount Airy during an argument over dinner, wounding them both.

"Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell said at about 8:30 p.m., George Michael LaCount, 56, became `fed up` after his stepdaughter, 33-year-old Lori Dann Mooney, complained about what was cooked for dinner.

"`They were fighting over food,` Terrell said. `Evidently, she didn't like what was fixed and he got tired. He just couldn't take it anymore.`

"Authorities responded to 393 Wild One Branch Road [???] off Joe Smith Road near Glade Creek Parkway and found Mooney with a gunshot wound to the face, Terrell said.

"After shooting Mooney in a bedroom with a .32-caliber Long handgun, LaCount shot himself under his chin and the bullet exited through his left temple, Terrell said.

"When deputies arrived, LaCount was not in the house. A blood trail led to his location about a half mile into the woods, Terrell said.

"`He went out there to die. He apologized for us having to come and find him and he just wanted us to leave him there,` Terrell said.

"Terrell said LaCount was cooperative with authorities and admitted to the shooting.

"`He told us exactly what he had done and why he did it,` Terrell said."
