Christian Brice Davis, 21, of Ellenwood, was arrested and charged with two counts of voluntary manslaughter, DeKalb County Jail records show.
Gregory Turan Morris, an off-duty Atlanta police officer who lives in the neighborhood, was shocked with a Taser and arrested when he allegedly hit a DeKalb officer after crossing the crime scene tape to see if his son was one of the victims, according to Channel 2.
Morris was charged with simple battery and obstruction of officers, and released from the DeKalb County Jail about two hours after being booked in early Wednesday, jail records show.
The officer’s son was not injured, but did witness the shooting, and gave police a statement, Channel 2 reported.
