The incident happened just after 4 a.m. early Monday morning. The sheriff’s office said the teens, two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old, were killed during an exchange of gunfire. It appears the teens were attempted to rob three people in the front yard, authorities said.

Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett said the three teens were wearing masks.
The sheriff’s office is interviewing the residents, who have not been charged.

“When deputies arrived they did discover masks on the young men. Again, that rose our suspicion,” Levett said. “So now we are out in the communities, speaking with witnesses, speaking of course with the homeowner involved. And of course trying to identify the young men and notify their families.”
Rockdale County deputies were able to later determine that one of the attempted robbery suspects brandished a gun and fired shots at the residents, but one of the intended victims returned fire.
One of the males was dead at the scene, while two were transported to a hospital where they later died.

A witness, Carlos Watson, told 11Alive that the gunfire woke him up.
“After I heard the gunfire I got up to go and canvass my house, make sure everybody was OK,” he said. “Because I didn’t know if I was dreaming initially until I heard a second round of it go off.”
“And shortly after that, maybe a couple of minutes, I could hear somebody screaming for help,” he added.

Watson said his understanding was that the situation started with a potential home invasion.
“It sounds like it was a home invasion gone bad for the invaders,” he said.
Watson, who had three children in his home and also takes care of his grandmother there, described the neighborhood as a “really calm place.”

“It’s not something that’s common around this area,” he said. “So it was very, very out of the ordinary around here.”
According to Sheriff Levett, there were two weapons found at the scene, and that investigators were trying to determine who they belonged to.
He said there were two other individuals in the home with the homeowner at the time of the incident, an adult woman and an unidentified third person. He said he didn’t know if a child was present.

The sheriff indicated the homeowner was already outside when the incident began.
The man was not hurt.
“Of course they are distraught, and so we’re trying to sort out what they saw, what they know,” Sheriff Levett said.
The Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office is asking for anyone with information in connection with the incident to contact them at 770-278-8000 and speak with Investigator Dwayne Smith or Sergeant Jeremy Best.
