One person is in serious but stable condition at Memorial Hospital after a shooting early this morning.
It happened at the intersection of Montgomery Crossroads and Edgewater Drive by Bartlett Middle School on Savannah's Southside.
Police say it was an argument over the phone that escalated.
They've arrested Scott Allen Elder for Aggravated Assault against Brian Matison.
“We don't know what the circumstances are. What we do know is that it was just a mistaken phone call. The two men did not know each other prior to that and they allowed a text conversation to escalate to physical violence so it was just a senseless act,” says SCMPD Spokesperson Veda Nichols.
