6:05 now, several incidents including a raging house fire
and a car that appeared to be shot up
had DeKalb County investigators very busy overnight.
Good news, Caitlin Pratt is at the
Fox 5 live desk with more on these stories for us.
Caitlin, good morning. What's going on?
A whole lot going on this morning.
Elise, good morning to you. Let's start with the latest
incident, a house fire in Dunwoody.
Fire crews responding around 3:30 this morning to that scene.
It's on Peeler Road and when they arrived, they found heavy flames.
The two-story building,
they tell us it appears no one was inside at the time and that the home
has been vacant for at least a couple of months now.
They do believe a neighbor or passerby called
the fire in, saw it, emergency.
Fire investigators now looking into what sparked the danger in the
first place. Now, about two hours before that,
DeKalb police were called to Rockbridge Road
near Kenridge Circle. A car at the scene had been struck by gunfire.
Several windows of a black Audi
We're shot out as a result.
Working to learn more about this one too.
And a little more than 45 minutes before that,
police were called to a scene on Glenwood Road
in Decatur where someone was transported
to the hospital. Following the reports,
a pedestrian was struck.
Investigators have not said much about this either, only revealing
that that patient was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital.
So a lot going on for DeKalb
County fire and police this morning.
We're working to get more details. We'll pass those
along as soon as we get them.
Certainly a lot they are following this morning. Caitlin, thank you.
