Man gunned down in Clayton County neighborhood, police say

MORROW, Ga. - A man was killed early Friday morning after a small social gathering in a Clayton County neighborhood.

The deadly shots were fired just after 1 a.m. at a home located in the 6600 block of Peacock Boulevard in Morrow. Clayton County police said officers arrived to find a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound in the front yard of the home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say while no arrests have been made, they're working on some leads. Several persons of interest were being interviewed. 

Carol Fitzhugh and her husband were smoking cigarettes outside a home nearby.  She heard three shots fired in rapid succession. Fitzhugh didn't hear anything else either before or after those shots were fired.  She calls the neighborhood quiet and can't believe a man was gunned down so close to where she is staying.

The case remains under investigation.
