At least one person has died as a result
of a shooting on Treasure Cove.
This happened late yesterday.
Investigators say they removed two vehicles from the scene as well.
A silver Nissan with multiple bullet holes
and a white pickup truck were towed away.
Fox 5 Atlanta also observed the medical examiner on scene.
And in good days, Mark Teichner spoke to a resident who lives nearby.
Her name's Miranda Poore.
She says she heard several gunshots and told her kids,
who are ages 13, 5, and 4, to get down.
So a pretty scary situation for the family.
She said she then went to call 911,
and she stepped outside to see what was taking place.
Let's take a quick listen to her.
As far as I know, I'm not really sure of what happened,
but I was cooking dinner for my kids
and I heard a bunch of just gunshots going off and I opened my door.
My four year old, which is her birthday today,
I was just like, get back.
I don't I'm not sure because it happened three years ago
from like today and I walked outside.
I didn't see anything, but I did see a black
car coming down the street with, you know, no headlights.
And it was obviously very suspect, so I just called it in.
I'm not an expert on guns, but I will say it was like two different,
maybe three different gunshots.
It just went boom, boom, and just da-da,
and then da-da, and then da-da-da-da.
It was crazy. It was crazy.
what do you do with your kids at that time i
was like get down i have a 13 year old a
five-year-old and a four-year-old so it was just like get down
because again we experienced this
like three years ago same literally the same thing
but this time it was a lot of guns like
it was a lot and you could tell it
was different gunshots around what time was this i want to say
I don't want to be specific but it was more
so between 10 30 and 12 o'clock ish because by the
time I got done you know get done what I was doing I
was like okay it was like I want to say 11 15
that's when I heard it and and your this is your your your bus stop
for your boy yeah no my my son
literally this shooting here happening
on Treasure Cove you just took a listen
to a resident of that area, Miranda Poore.
Now, so DeKalb County officers
also responded to a shooting on Emerald Lake Drive
just a few miles away.
So officers were at that scene as well.
But information about what happened
and whether anyone was injured there was not available.
Police have not confirmed whether
the two shootings on Emerald Lake Drive
and Treasure Cove are connected,
but we're working to learn more about
those shootings to see if they are connected.
And DeKalb County Police have
not yet released many details about the victims as well.
We'll keep you updated on this story.
