DONALSONVILLE, Ga. - A man from Waycross, Ga., has been charged with the shooting deaths of two people in a house in Donalsonville.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Friday that 47-year-old DanTony Swinson was charged with two counts of murder. He is being held without bond in Ware County. He had been taken into custody Tuesday on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
