ATLANTA - Police say they've arrested an Atlanta man who is accused of firing shots into the back of a home in the Morningside area, which led to three area schools being placed on lockdown.
Atlanta police Sgt. Curtis Davenport said 30-year-old Michael Christopher Lloyd has been charged with aggravated assault. It was not immediately known late Wednesday whether Lloyd had an attorney.
Davenport said that multiple shots appear to have been fired into the rear of the home with a high-powered rifle.
Davenport said the suspect had been feuding with another man in the neighborhood. He said that dispute had apparently continued on the social networking site Facebook.
No one was injured, but Morningside and Springdale elementary schools and Grady High School were temporarily locked down as a result of the case.
