Home Invasion: Man Struggled with 2 Suspects Before Shot, Killed

Duluth Police believe the man who was shot and killed during a Wednesday morning home invasion struggled with two suspects before the shooting started.

WGCL-TV Channel 46 reported police have identified the dead man as Adam Schrier, 37, who fought with the invaders in his home on Summercrest Lane sometime around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6. A woman and an 8-year-old were also injured in the incident. A 4-year-old girl was not harmed.

The woman was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center; the 8-year-old was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. The woman is believed to be the man’s wife.

Police say robbery was the motive. The suspects fled in a vehicle.

WSB-TV reported Thursday afternoon that the woman and child have been released from the hospitals.

Duluth Police are calling the attack an isolated incident. In answering the question of a resident who was concerned about safety at bus stops in the area, the department posted this on its Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon:

“The suspects are still at large, however, we have no reason to believe that they will be back to that neighborhood or that children getting off of the buses in any neighborhood will be in any danger. We would inform our citizens if we had specific information about an individual or any group of individuals who might be in danger. Thank you for your concern. We will try to keep everyone informed with as much information as we can put out without compromising our investigation.”
