A 44-year-old Green Bay man has been officially charged for a shooting incident that took place back in early September. A witness to the incident told police that she was visiting the victim, when the suspect, Tony Lee Simmons, attempted to take her purse, but she fought back. Simmons retaliated by punching her in the head, which knocked her to the ground, and broke a bone in her head. The victim stepped in to try and get Simmons away from the woman and was shot for his efforts. The witness was able to identify Simmons out of a photo lineup, leading to his eventual arrest, and him being charged with Attempted 1st Degree Intentional Homicide, Substantial Battery and Felon in Possession of a Gun.
