ATLANTA — Several southwest Atlanta homeowners say they are considering selling their homes and leaving their neighborhood following a series of shootings at a nearby short-term rental property.
Neighbors along Hemphill School Road told Channel 2 investigative reporter Ashli Lincoln they have lived in the area for years and say the recent violence is unlike anything they have experienced before.

Some homeowners who lived there for several years said they have never experienced this type of boldness.
Residents say the home was once vacant but problems began after it was renovated and turned into an Airbnb. They said they are too frightened to show their face after experiencing it.
“I don’t feel safe at all in this neighborhood,” one resident said.
Some homeowners say they are now considering relocating to escape the repeated gunfire.
“It happens so often, so many times. I’m not going to get used to it — I’m just going to relocate,” another neighbor said.
