Channel 2′s Larry Spruill was live at the scene on WSB Tonight at 11 p.m. and spoke with a neighbor who says he was inside his home, when he heard the gun shots.
“Me and my daughter were in the house, we heard gun shots, it sounded like a semi-automatic went off. When I came outside to investigate, I found a phone, and when I looked at it, I saw a gentleman in the front yard screaming for help, like he got shot,” said Spencer Williams. “I called 9-1-1. When I went to check on him, I saw another gentleman run from the side of the house.”
Police are asking anyone with any new information, to call police.
