COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Acworth police say a shootout in a quiet neighborhood had some families diving for cover.
The shooting happened Tuesday in the 100 block of Clubhouse Drive in Acworth.
"Just one round after another. Bang, bang, bang," a homeowner told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Chris Jose.
Homeowners told Jose they did not want to be identified for fear of retaliation.
"My husband yelled at us to get down. It sounded like it was coming into our house," a mother said. "My kids ran down to the basement."
