Man opens fire inside crowded metro Atlanta restaurant, customers shoot back

CONYERS, Ga. — Conyers police have a suspect in custody after a shootout
inside a crowded restaurant and a SWAT situation at a nearby home. 

Police got a call of shots fired at the Chiquitos Cantina and Grill on
Old Salem Road. Officers say a man fired several shots, which led to
other customers pulling out their guns. 

Channel 2’s Darryn Moore was at the restaurant during Channel 2 Action
News This Morning. 

Police said the gunman fired more shots from outside, but no one was
shot or hurt. 

Channel 2’s Tom Jones went back to the restaurant where you can see
large bullet holes in the glass windows and doors. 

“[It’s like the] OK Corral. Boy, these people crazy,” customer Jonathan
Stewart said. 

Officers called in the Rockdale County SWAT team to look for the shooter
and they surrounded a house less than a mile away on Oak Forest Drive. 

SWAT officers walked three people out of the home. Police confirmed to
Moore that one of them was the suspect. They have not released his name. 

“Well, that’s good. He don’t need to be walking around here,” Stewart
said.
