BAXLEY, Ga. -- The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is probing the weekend shooting death of an Iraq war veteran in an armed standoff in south Georgia’s Appling County.

Dixon’s older sister, Serran Aaron, said her brother suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and was 100 percent disabled.

Neighbors of James M. Dixon III, 31, called the Sheriff’s Office about 3:50 a.m. Sunday to say someone had fired a shot through their house, Sheriff Bennie DeLoach said in a news statement.

Deputies went to Dixon’s house but decided for safety reasons to wait until daylight before confronting whoever fired the shot, DeLoach said.

As they waited, Dixon left the house and drove to his parents’ house about a half mile away on Holland Road Extension, Chief Deputy Lee J. Sweat Jr. said.

Deputies were not in position to stop Dixon but tried to stop him as he came back home, Sweat said.
