“According to Ms. Bell’s relatives, she is only a neighbor," Gwinnett police spokesman officer Jacob Albright said. "They’ve never engaged in any sort of relationship. And as far as she knows there’s no disagreements or animosity between the two of them.”
No officers were involved in the shooting and none were injured during the incident, Albright said.
