Firing a warning shot is considered assault and reckles conduct.
If you are not in fear of your life, you should not be firing your weapon in such a manner as to cause fear in another.
That goes with Georgia criminal code 16-11-37 a felony.
You should be firing it to cause incapacitation in the threat. Not to wound, not to scare, you shot to stop. That's how you shoot.
If you deviate from this, you'll open yourself up to criminal and ESPECIALLY civil liability.
Georgia criminal codes sections that would apply to a stray bullet hitting an innocent person is 16-5-1 through 16-5-3, 16-5-21, 16-11-139, 16-11-102 16-11-103 just to name a few.
The act of discharging a warning shot is ridiculous thing to do and is a dangerous act, AKA reckless conduct a criminal act and in most cases a felony because it’s a crime involving a fire arm.
Georgia list all of its code section on the net and the web page is

You’re state should have a page like this.
Keep in mind if you do not face the threat of death or serious bodily harm, don't even brandish your firearm.
Doing so loses your element of surprise, and gives your foe the knowledge of what you have.
All he's got to do at that point is walk away, call the cops, and say you brandished your firearm at him for no reason at all.
It might not stick in court, but it’s more hassle than its worth. You gain nothing from the showing of force.
Keep in mind you can beat the case but not the ride.
