Earlier, police said its officers and SWAT team were working on an incident involving a barricaded man in a home in the 9500 block of Briar Creek Lane.
Police said the incident started when callers contacted dispatch at 6:08 p.m. Monday about an armed subject walking in the roadway firing shots.
Channel 2′s Michael Doudna was live from the scene on WSB Tonight at 11 p.m. where he spoke with neighbors.
For them, they said it was a frightening experience, especially having kids inside of their home.
“Definitely scary because I have my daughter and situations like this can get crazy and go wild,” said the neighbor. “And I have a son who is handicapped, so, it can definitely be a nerve racking situation.”
After some negotiation, SWAT was able to get into the front door and Clay was arrested.
Police said Clay is being charged with aggravated assault and reckless conduct.
