Georgia Landscape Contractor Shot Seven Times By Bogus Homeowners

Police are looking for the two men they say hired a landscape contractor to cut grass at a home in suburban Atlanta, then shot him seven times.

Pho Le, 60, the owner of Le's Landscaping, was in critical condition Tuesday at Southern Regional Medical Center with gunshot wounds to the head, stomach and right leg, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Le was shot when he arrived at a home Sunday in Clayton County, outside Atlanta, for what he apparently believed was a grass cutting job. Instead, the two men who hired him opened fire shooting Le once in the head and abdomen and five times in the leg.

The men, who police say, had broken into the house and were pretending to be the homeowners, tried to steal Le's truck. They dropped the keys to the vehicle and fled, police said.

According to investigators, the men had met Le on Saturday at his home and paid him $100 in cash to cut the grass the following day.

Police have no motive in the case, but believe Le's attackers may have been after his vehicle or his landscaping equipment.
