Double Shootings Leave One Dead, Cause Two School Lockdowns

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA -- One person was killed during a Wednesday double shooting that also caused two Stone Mountain schools to be locked down.

Two other people were injured in the shootings, according to the AJC.

The shootings took place at 4719 Central Drive, near Stone Mountain High and Hambrick Elementary. Both schools were locked down from early Wednesday morning until shortly after noon.

The shootings do not appear to be connected to Wednesday’s hostage situation in Lithonia, in which a DeKalb SWAT teams was in a standoff with a man holding a woman at knifepoint on Willowick Drive. Fairington Elementary was locked down during that incident as well. The woman was rescued by police.
