Bullets fly through grandmother's South Fulton home as she sleeps

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — Edith Brothers thought she heard gunfire in her South Fulton neighborhood Sunday and assumed it was celebratory shots from those watching the Super Bowl.

The next morning, she and her granddaughter found bullet holes in her home and a bullet inside her living room.

Brothers showed Channel 2's Tom Jones where one bullet went through the home, hit some pillows and then broke a picture frame on the mantle.

She said her grandchildren could have been harmed if they had been in the room.

"My kids come over and they play down here. So that's even more disturbing to me," her granddaughter Keturah Williams told Jones.

Brothers told Jones they called police to come investigate, but she was told that it wasn't a top priority.

"The lady was real short. Said that it's not a priority to her. We only take what's priority," Brothers said.

Jones reached out to the City of South Fulton to find out what happened. Police Chief Keith Meadows said his department contracts with Fulton County for 911.

Meadows said for some reason the call was held for six hours. Meadows told Jones that an officer eventually came out around 10:30 p.m. Monday but no one answered the door.

Brothers said that no one came out.

"Well it makes me feel as though I'm not important as a citizen but I can pay my taxes and pay for their wages," she said.
