[October 29, 2009]  SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia police said a misdialed number led two strangers to trade hostile calls and text messages before arranging a meeting where one shot the other.

Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman Veda Lamar Nichols told the Savannah Morning News in a Wednesday story that man, 22, faces an aggravated assault charge. The 22-year-old suspect was jailed after a 24-year-old man was shot in a CVS parking lot around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Nichols said the victim was taken to Memorial University Medical Center in serious condition. She said the two didn't know each other but began arguing through phone calls and text messages after a misdialed number and arranged to meet in the store's parking lot.

The suspect was taken to the Chatham County jail. Nichols said his vehicle was damaged during the incident.
