On a Friday evening in 2022, three members of the Hawk family were tragically shot and killed at their gun shop in Coweta County. Jacob Christian Muse, a former customer of the Lock Stock & Barrel gun range, was convicted of their murders and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The case, which shocked the small town of Grantville, marked the first homicides there in over 20 years, prompting a community response that included the establishment of a scholarship fund in honor of the youngest victim, 18-year-old Luke Hawk.
