\nCOFFEE COUNTY, Ga. – Two Douglas women are facing multiple felony charges after investigators say they were shot by a homeowner during an alleged armed home invasion in Coffee County.<\/p>\n

What we know:
\nAccording to the Coffee County Sheriff\u2019s Office, deputies responded Feb. 21 to reports of gunshot victims near Tyler Road. When they arrived, they found Stephanie Ann Nicole Castillo, 35, and Elisabet Gaspar, 27, both of Douglas, suffering from injuries authorities say were sustained during an attempted robbery.<\/p>\n

Investigators with the sheriff\u2019s office and agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation determined the two women allegedly attacked a homeowner with a machete while attempting to commit a robbery. The homeowner then discharged a shotgun in self-defense, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Both suspects were transported for medical treatment and later arrested.<\/p>\n

Castillo and Gaspar are charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault and first-degree home invasion. Authorities said additional charges are possible as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:
\nThe sheriff\u2019s office said it supports the right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families. The case remains active and under investigation. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not just a machete to a gun fight, but to a shotgun fight. The results were completely predictable.<\/p>\n

He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
