COLUMBUS, GEORGIA — A 40-year-old father of four was shot and killed in front of his fiancée and young children during a terrifying home attack in Columbus, authorities said.
The victim, identified as William “Bam” Tatum, was returning home on the night of October 10 with takeout food for a planned family movie night when two masked men ambushed him at the doorstep of his home, according to the Columbus Police Department.
