Police and firefighters helped victims escape a home on Longman Way in Stone Mountain.
They put a ladder up to the second-floor window of home to rescue four people, according to neighbors.
The medical examiner and investigators took two bodies from the home in the last hour. Detectives confirmed to Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach that both are men.
Neighbors said they heard about a half dozen shots around 5:30 a.m.
“We heard gunshots, heard some yelling,” one neighbor said.
A neighbor said she saw people being rescued from the second story but doesn’t know why they couldn’t come down the stairs. She later said she saw a woman and a baby come out the front door.
“I’m assuming they were in some type of danger, or felt like they were in danger, especially after he was shooting,” the neighbor said. “Not sure if he was shooting at them to harm them or shooting at them to scare them.”
Once police determined it was safe, officers went inside where they found two people dead. One man was also taken away in handcuffs, but investigators have not said if he was arrested or facing any charges.
