State Senator Robert Brown of Macon says he plans to file a bill next week suggesting an alliance between the Georgia Music and Sports Hall of Fame authorities and the Georgia Lottery.

That's according to a press release.

It says the measure would allow lottery machines in both halls of fame, increase revenue for the halls and the Georgia Lottery and bring more people to downtown Macon.

A Macon teenager was shot in the leg after a confrontation between two groups Friday afternoon.

Macon police say it happened around 3 p.m. outside 263 Clisby Place.

Police say several teens were gathered in an alley between two homes when a young man, wearing a red shirt and red ball cap, came into the alley and pointed at them.

The young man left, then returned with several others, showed a small pistol and fired several shots at the group.

One of the teens was hit in the leg and was taken to the Medical Center of Central Georgia. Police say his injures are not life-threatening. Police are not releasing his name or age.

The shooter and his friends ran away toward Vineville Avenue.

Anyone with information on the shooting can call Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.

Macon Mayor Robert Reichert spoke with us by phone about the devastating fire at the Atlantic Cotton Mill.

The building was completely engulfed in flames on Thursday.

The city had been working for years to redevelop the property, and received a grant last year to revamp the old mill into loft apartments.
