    Gunfire on West Parkwood Road Pre-Dawn Monday

    Decatur Metro | May 16, 2011

    What the hell?  Siv points out this post on the Parkwood Garden Club blog…

    West Parkwood Rd. residents Helen Ordway and Steve Elmore related harrowing stories to DeKalb county police early this morning. Steve and Erin Elmore’s mailbox was blasted by a shotgun fired from a car early Monday morning, May 16, sometime between 4:00 and 4:15 a.m. The shot was heard by the Elmores, by a resident across the street from the shooting, and by neighbors Helen Ordway and Sherri Lane on W Parkwood Rd. who live up the hill near East Lake Rd.

    The Garden Club blog has ear-witness accounts from many neighbors about the incident.  I believe that more than one of you mentioned hearing gunfire in this area on FFAF this morning.  Also, if you have further info on this event…

    …the case number initiated by Steve Elmore is 11-053563, and the officer’s name is Tom A. Green, Sr. He is with the Center Precinct at 770-724-7780.
