2 Gwinnett men charged in celebratory gunfire incident

Two men were arrested after allegedly firing dozens of shots into the air Sunday night, Gwinnett County police said.

Police said Robert Campbell-Landy, 19, and Devin Dingle, 30, were part of a “group of males” shooting weapons near the 8100 block of Springs Lane near Peachtree Corners. That address matches a local apartment complex.

The men admitted to firing into the air, Cpl. Ashley M. Wilson said, and officers reported finding several handguns, extended magazines and “nearly 90 spent shell casings” at the scene.

Campbell-Landy and Dingle were both charged with reckless conduct and discharging a firearm on private property of another.

“The Gwinnett Police Department wants everyone to have a safe and happy holiday weekend, but celebratory gunfire can be both dangerous and illegal,” the department said in a news release.
