This is a northeast suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County
SUWANEE — Five Gwinnett County firefighters are being held hostage at home in Suwanee.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Cpl. Edwin Ritter said that, as of 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, a gunman was holding the handful of firefighters hostage at a home at 2440 Walnut Grove Way, not far from the intersection of Collins Hill and Taylor roads.
"It appears that the fire department responded to this residence for some type of medical call," Ritter said. "I have very little information on the motive at this time."
The police department's SWAT team was on scene.
On scene presser:
SWAT entered. Suspect is deceased.
4 firefighters wounded, superficial wounds.
I love a happy ending!
Four firefighters with superficial wounds.
Another mental case is dead.
Another mental case is dead.
Officer injured by suspect ... source says not sure where.
Four fire fighters apparently inured slightly by flash bang.
Just a little excitement in my normally mundane corner of the world.
More like an Obamaeconomy casualty. Apparently, the guy was the owner who got foreclosed on. He was demanding utilities be turned back on.
Will be interesting to see if this guy had an objective and if he achieved it. Dead or not.
Facts not in evidence.
One of the first procedures in these situations is to cut the power. He also wanted his cellphone and other services restored, which would not be in line with a foreclosure, IMHO!
His house may have been in foreclosure, however, and he just stressed and popped. Now, he is no longer involved in any foreclosure.
I learned a long time ago to not waste any time
trying to determine “why” a crazy person does crazy things.
It is what it is.
They do what they do.
“...he is no longer involved in any foreclosure. ...”
-
He is no longer involved in much of anything.
If you come to Gwinnett County, Georgia and start trouble, you lose.
Pretty much a guarantee.
Suwanee, Georgia...
Oh, by the way...
‘Round here, we pronounce it “SWAN-e”
but some outsider folks say “sue-WAHN-nee”.
LOL. You're likely right.
Deranged take hostages, and now he’s dead.
Obamaeconomy could have caused his mental breakdown. I can understand that!
I can think of something in which he may now be involved...
