Gwinnett County police are looking for the suspect involved in a deadly shooting at an empty home near Buford.

Corporal Jake Smith tells WSB they were called to a shooting around 2 p.m. at a home at 2283 Ivy Crest Drive.

"When officers arrived, they actually discovered that three people had been shot.  There were two deceased males and a third male who had been shot, but was not deceased," said Smith.

That third man, who is in critical condition, was found in another residence nearby.

Smith says they are talking to neighbors and witnesses, but so far do not have any information on the suspect.

"There is no thinking right now that there is any connection to the other shooting that occurred this morning," said Smith.

In the other shooting, a man was shot to death, a woman critically injured, at a duplex on Pucketts Drive in Lilburn.

"Don't know if this was similar to this morning in that they knew the person or if it was just a random home invasion," said Smith.

Neighbor rushes to save victim

Michael Barrett is a friendly young man who lives with his wife and child in his parents’ house on Ivy Glen Drive in Buford. He was playing with the baby in the front yard of his home at around 2:00 p.m. Tuesday when he heard a tremendous commotion nearby.

“I hear, ‘Boom, boom, boom boom! Help! Call 911!” Barrett said. On his neighbor’s doorstep, the 22-year old Barrett saw a man bleeding from the neck. He’d been shot.

Barrett said he ran to help, pulling off his shirt and using it to stem the bleeding.

“He’s got a hole in his neck. I’m puttin’ pressure on it and freakin’ out!” Barrett explained.

The man was one of three people shot at a house just down the street. Barrett said the wounded man told him they were making the house ready for move-in when two black men burst in and demanded, “Where’s the money?”

When the shooting was over, two men were dead and the third critically wounded. Barrett said it seemed to take forever for police and medics to arrive.

“I just hope they get here soon,” Barrett remembered thinking. “That’s the only thing I could think: ‘I just hope they get here.’”

Barrett said hours after the shooting, he wondered how something like this could happen in the neighborhood where he grew up. “It’s chaos,” he said.
