“It was a little bit alarming because this is a really great neighborhood,” said neighbor Greg Parks.

Parks was heading home when he said three gunshots went off. When he pulled into his driveway, he said he saw a person in his backyard with a gun along with a string of law enforcement.

Parks' fiance shot video from her bedroom as the suspected shooter was confronted by deputies. He said deputies told the man to put his gun down.

“They brought in other tactical officers and shot him with bean bags and took him down," he explained.

The suspected shooter, Letron Jemone Bell, was taken into custody and is in the Rockdale County Jail facing charges of aggravated assault against law enforcement, felony murder, cruelty to children and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
