On Tuesday morning, an unidentified man entered Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Georgia with an AK-47 and other weapons. DeKalb County Police Chief Kevin O'Brien mentioned that at least five shots were fired, but no one was hurt. Students were reunited with their parents at an off-campus location.

KNX reported that the suspect entered the school office and demanded that the secretary - the only person in the office at the time - get reporters on the phone. The suspect then fired shots, but no one was hit.
