Over the weekend, a medic working for Covington County EMS was shot while working a call in Magee.

According to Magee Police Department, on Friday Magee Police Department and Covington County EMS were both dispatched to a home on 7th Avenue SE for a welfare check. When the responders knocked on the door for a few minutes, a single shot was fired through the door, striking a medic in the ambulance.
