Fox 5 Atlanta reported:
Two men are in custody after police say they exchanged gunfire near the Atlanta Beltline early Thursday morning, sending bullets into a nearby home.
The shooting happened shortly after midnight on Wellington Street SW. Witnesses flagged down arriving officers and reported seeing two men firing guns toward the property. Bullets also struck a nearby home.
Police then spotted two men matching the witness descriptions walking nearby. When officers approached, both men ran, prompting a short foot chase before officers detained them.
Authorities identified the men as Gregory O’Neal Vaughn, 26, and Jermaine Darcel Howard, 29. Officers recovered a firearm and multiple rounds of ammunition from Howard. Police confirmed both men face multiple pending charges and noted that preliminary evidence shows the shooting was not politically motivated.
It was later revealed that the home is occupied by Robert Sinners, who works for Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, as his communications director. Sinners was asleep inside the home at the time with his fiancée. Sinners spoke to FOX 5 Atlanta about the experience.
