POWDER SPRINGS, Ga.,None — Two people, including a teenager, were killed and one wounded in a domestic dispute that turned into a murder-suicide at a home in Cobb County early Thursday morning.
Powder Springs police said Clifton O'Neal Steager, 39 shot and killed himself after fatally shooting Rajaan Bennett, 18.
Steager was an ex-boyfriend of Bennett's mother, according to investigators.
Officials said Taiwan Hunter, 32, was wounded and taken to the Atlanta Medical Center.
Channel 2 Action News reporter Mike Petchenik spoke to the Powder Springs police chief who said police got a 911 call from a house in the 4200 block of Woodcrest Drive about 2:30 a.m. The caller was whispering and asking for help, according to police.
When officers arrived at the house, they heard shots, according to Major Charles Spann of the Powder Springs Police Department.
"When they knock on the door they hear the shots inside and they, of course, take cover," said Spann. "As they moved back, two people emerged from the house hysterical."
When Powder Springs officers and the Cobb County SWAT team entered the house they found Steager and Bennett dead.
Several children in the home were unharmed.
