DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- Police are still trying to piece together what led to a triple murder in a DeKalb County neighborhood. They say it started with an argument and ended in a standoff.
It happened at about 4:40 a.m. along Tally Ho Drive Thursday.
Charles Reeves, who witnessed the incident, said he was woken up from a fight going on in the middle of the street. “The young lady was screaming. She was screaming loud, ‘Please help me! Help me! Please don’t kill me!’” he said.
Reeves said when he went outside he saw a man hitting the woman with a gun in the middle of Tally Ho Drive. The woman got away, but then, he said it got even worse.
“I seen the young man go to the backseat of the car and I thought he was pulling a bag or something out. He pulled a body out. Then he went to the driver’s side, pulled out another body,” Reeves said.

A 13-year-old was in stable condition after he was shot Saturday evening while throwing rocks at cars in southwest Atlanta, police said.

Police said the teen was throwing rocks at about 7:30 p.m. near Stephens and McDaniel streets when a rock broke the rear windshield of a car driven by Alex Williams.

Williams allegedly pulled a gun and shot the teen in the hip, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said.

- First off, stop bumping up your thread because nobody has responded. This is a violation

- Second, our crime is not as bad as Dallas, DC, New Orleans, Bmore, Philly, Memphis, Chicago, etc

-Third, most of that happened in the suburbs, not in Atlanta

-4th, there are already crime thread. Stop posting the same topic daily

missed this one---i heard about the incident in Fulton county--a minister shot a teen that was throwing rocks at his car----

ITS ON-May, then June, July, August---school will be out soon. I can only hope that someone remembers last June--the incident at Piedmont Park. APD --i will try to stay away from them. I noticce DPD around--I know them well enough to know they will be 'motivated'. I saw a Ga State Patrol on PIB--just waiting.

just do something--any member of law enforcement is on high alert--I drove from Clairmont to Canton and back again yesterday--no traffic until I tried to return--Perimeter Mall. I could have been involved in a terrible wreck--!@#! behind me--SUV--a red one. Just hold your horses, buddy boy that is what i said.

and of Course, Commencement at Emory--no hope of going anywhere in a car today.

Homeland Security--Janet Napolitano?---liberals--not really--independent thinkers--if that is still ok--none to sure that it is. To live within minutes and not be able to think--that bothers me. I can and I do---and pay dearly for that. If you only knew.

randomly clicked AJC--the headline is now about the rock throwing incident---it will be the end of the day before anyone writes something about Emory-and when it is written --will it be worth reading?

when i look at my post--i see what has happened to me---a complete 'victim' of my culture--'Gimme 3 steps to the Right'--? steve miller band, IIRC--coming to Chastain in June---if you have the coin that should be fun. I would prefer Manfred Mann--and others--they tour Europe--won't come to the US. That's ok--i know the music and can find a way to hear it when i want to.

it's bad enough---when things get rolling you know there is going to be something Worse---if I am 'collateral damage' in something completely senseless i will be upset.

I can tell you this--if a family of ethnicity in my neighborhood doesn't keep their chihauhau in the house and I am the one to kill their dog---after trying to tell them that this is important many times as nicely as I can---I think i will just die.

fighting---winning --gets everyone in rare form--one gender more than the other, jmo

insanity absolute insanity --The VICTORY----it is a good thing but a lot more to be done

Another guy was shot and killed near there yesterday. I know crime can happen anywhere and that it's just a part of the urban life, but these incidents help create a perception that the area around the Five Points MARTA station has safety issues.

and the truth is--in this 'village'--when Something happens--as it did this past week--old issues are on everyone's mind--some, inclined to take action types get righteous, or stop thinking, become emotional and there are 'fires' throughout the village--that is my theory--i have been told in is incorrect.

Guns--i wouldn't hesitate to use one at times but know that i am not the sort that needs to have one. a knife, a stick, a chemical---knowing where to attack---i can do that

i think i will look into this--

I heard about it
on the radio last night--i heard an assortment of ideas --Clark Howard--consumerism, 'the Chinese --we had better get our act together because the Chinese will do it better'---then Happy Science--i plan to go and see what is going on--Chinese--yes, they know a few things that might be useful here----keep the pot stirred--let's do that

Unfortunately, these insanely violent multiple murders happen pretty often in the Atlanta area. Maybe not every single weekend but still often enough to make you think "WTF?!"
