Local news is showing a lot of police converging around Avondale Estates. My brother in law and his familiy live in this area.

Avondale Estates is on the east side of Atlanta in Dekalb County. If memory serves me correctly the city jail is also located on the otskirts of Avondale.

Apologies for my earlier poor taste. First post pulled since 5-98.

Won't happen again.

Oh, I hope your relatives are all home and safely inside their locked doors. I would hate to live anywhere near there right now.

The DeKalb County Jail is just east of Avondale - the complex also houses the headquarters for the DeKalb County police.

For those non-Atlanta FReepers who may find this a bit curious, what most folks call "Atlanta" consists of parts of 6-8 counties and maybe 25 different municipalities. The City of Atlanta itself is in three different counties.

I'm about four miles away from Avondale Estates. Guess I better turn on the news.
