Robbers shoot man in face at mobile home

A man was shot in the face by robbers at a Southwest Gainesville mobile home park Saturday morning.

When deputies arrived to Cornerstone Mobile Home Park, they found Travis Gallon, 21, lying on the floor with a head wound, an Alachua County Sheriff's Office release stated. Six people were in the mobile home at 431 Squire Drive at about 2:30 a.m. when it was robbed. Witnesses told deputies that a party had just ended when two to three men kicked in the front door of the residence and demanded money. The six people were ordered by the men to get on the floor, and Gallon was shot in the face, the release stated.

According to the release, Gallon was taken to a local hospital where he had emergency surgery for the gunshot wound.

The suspects are described as medium-build, black men. Two of the men were armed, and at least one had dreadlocks.
