Georgia Robbery Attempt Fails Fatally for Three Teens

“The three were killed during an exchange of gunfire with a resident on White Oak Court. To this point, the investigation has revealed that the three now deceased individuals had their faces covered as they approached the residence and attempted to rob three individuals in the front yard.

One of the attempted robbery suspects brandished a handgun and fired shots at the residents before one of the intended robbery victims returned fire.

The victims of the attempted robbery were all uninjured, but the three attempted robbery suspects were all shot during the exchange of gunfire and succumbed to their injuries, one on scene and two at a local hospital after being transported.

Investigators have been actively interviewing the three individuals from the residence and other neighbors with information throughout the day. No charges have been filed against anyone at this time.

The investigation is still very active and the RCSO is asking for anyone with information in connection with this incident to contact the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office at 770-278-8000 and speak with Investigator Dwayne Smith or Sergeant Jeremy Best. More details may be released as they become available during the investigation.”
