A Kennesaw man has been charged with shooting two people to death early Saturday. The bodies of Fatoumata Ntiamoah, 27, and Mohamed Zaine, 32, were found by Cobb County police around 4 a.m.

One of our Forum members was the 911 caller, and he was also the one that found the woman. I will let him explain in any detail he chooses from here. But this is a reminder of how close to home it can get. You hear shots in the night and find a victim in your own yard, the cops that you called find you with a weapon near a dead body, you are going to have a long night.

Can you tell us what main intersection this is near?

Edit: Never mind, I found it. At least it doesn't appear to be a random act. Too bad for your friend that he was troubled.

Why did Cobb police respond to a shooting in Kennesaw?
And .... isn't Bexley Place around Delk and Cobb Parkway?

This is near 41 and Barrett, and this is Cobb county's area they respond to.

Kennesaw zip codes cover a rather large area, far beyond the Kennesaw City Limits.

Maybe I'm biased, but when I saw the names, the first thing I thought was "honor killing". Of course, anyone with any kind of name can be the victim of regular ol' crime, too, I suppose.

Imagine something incorrect in the article...

Authorities found the couple shot to death inside the residence.

Man radio you always seem to have the worst luck brother! Robbed at gun point a few months ago and now finding dead bodies in your drive way...

Good luck with the situation and let us know if you need anything?

 

[TippinTaco]

ehhh that would be weird... Walk outside to find a bodie in your drive way.... I can say I'd call 911 but I'd think my wife would be telling me to pack my bags we're heading to beverly hills. Rado good luck man, glad ur all safe and sound. I'm really sorry about the issues that come from an armed man standing over a victims body that you obviously didnt shoot Thats just bad timing I guess

and I agree above.. The body was in your driveway... the story states "inside the residence".. I tell ya when will people in this world start getting SIMPLE facts straight...

Here's another...http://wsbradio.com/localnews/2010/12/e ... _cntnt_rss

Michael Ntiamoah, 32, shot and killed Fatoumata Ntiamoah, 27, and Mohamed Zaine, 32, inside a home in the Villas at Barrett Lakes Subdivision, police said.

A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, told Channel 2 Action news he heard at least 15 shots fired around 4 a.m. Saturday morning when he heard at least 15 shots fired. The neighbor said one victim was found in the home, the other in the grass by his neighbor's front door. bold added

I think a lot of these errors are cross sharing information and not proof reading for content. This was part of a cost reduction effort reported eariler this year by Cox.

I am now trying to wean myself off linking stories from Cox news outlets(Sometimes sadly this isn't possible). A lot of smaller community news sites are really gaining support as local advertisers are seeing a great bang for buck there. The information is better and the bias is minimal, if at all present. I ask that others seek to link to the local news sites whenever possible.

Channel 2 just reported the suspect is a US Border Patrol Agent and he shot more than 30 shots.

Bah! Keep Radio-Medic in your thoughts here.... He is having to deal with CCPD bureaucracy over resolving his part and rights. He may be having to invoke his HammerTime rights.

Not Border Patrol specifically... Customs at Hartsfield.

I had to pause the tape to take a call.

US Customs and Border Protection at Hartsfield.
