MILTON, Ga. — Investigators said an argument between neighbors Thursday led to an hours-long standoff in Milton.
Milton police said two neighbors got into a fight at some point in the afternoon along Freeman Mill Road, and one of them eventually left.
When that neighbor came back home, the other neighbor started to open fire on them, hitting that person's car.
Police said the victim called 911 after running into their home. The person was not injured.

Officers responded to the shooter's home and tried to make contact with them and were unsuccessful.
That's when officers called in SWAT negotiators and they cordoned off the neighborhood.
"We have the situation under control. While it is still ongoing, we have taken into consideration the safety of the public and we will make sure that no else gets in harm's way," said Milton Police Capt. Charles Barstow.
Barstow said the shooter was taken into custody late Thursday night and the SWAT situation ended peacefully.
