Gwinnett Woman's Deadly Shootout With Home Invaders Caught on Video

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA — A Gwinnett County woman exchanges gunfire with three armed home-invaders in a new video released by police.

The woman, whom police have not identified, shot and killed one of three men who broke into her home near Peachtree Corners last Friday.

In the video, the woman unloads at least six shots from a handgun as the robbers, two of whom remain at large, attempt to escape through what appears to be a storage area.

The incident happened shortly before 4 a.m. Friday at 3500 Spring Dr., an Atlanta address in unincorporated Gwinnett County near Peachtree Corners.

The homeowner told police dispatchers that she and another man woke to the sounds of someone entering their home. She got a handgun and went to investigate the sounds, according to police.

She discovered at least three men coming through the front door and began firing, striking at least one suspect, who was hit in the torso and killed, police say.

At least one of the other men began exchanging gunfire with the homeowner as they ran away.

Police identified the deceased as Antonio Leeks, 28, of Atlanta. Officers performed CPR on Leeks, but were unsuccessful.

They say the two remaining suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.crimestoppersatlanta.org.
