COLUMBUS, Ga. -- (WGCL) -- WGCL has confirmed that State Representative Gerald Greene was shot at an adult theater on Thursday, according to a police report.
According to Communications Director Kaleb McMichen, Greene (R) was driving home from the Capitol to his district in Cuthbert and was robbed at a convenience store in Columbus.
However, conflicting information from police shows that the shooting took place at 3009 Victory Drive, known as the Foxes Cinema.
During an apparent robbery, Greene was shot in the leg and transported to the hospital.

Officials say Greene was released from the hospital Thursday night.
