Holland says there were no other injuries reported, and that initially one shot was heard, with a second shot being heard from within the apartment a couple minutes later.
Holland reports that law enforcement did not fire any shots. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is taking over this investigation.
UPDATE: The Warner Robins Police Department has released the scene to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office.
Plus, 3 schools in the surrounding area were put under a brief Code Yellow lockdown as a safety precaution, according to a representative from the Houston County School District. The schools that underwent this code yellow was Parkwood Elementary, Northside Middle, and Northside High School.
No students or staff were ever in harm’s way, but since the location of the incident was near to the schools, these security measures were taken.
