LILBURN, Ga. — Gwinnett County police are looking into whether a business owner shot and killed a man in self-defense at his repair shop.
At this time police have not charged the owner with any crimes. It’s the latest of three deadly shootings in three days in the county.
“I heard a woman screaming, I heard a man shouting,” one neighbor told Channel 2′s Matt Johnson, asking not to be identified.

That’s what neighbors heard right as a shooting left two people shot — one dead in Lawrenceville on Saturday.
“I went back inside and pretty much stayed there, I looked out the window and just kept seeing police cars everywhere,” the neighbor said.
Patrick Jones, 39, died and another man is critical after police say a Saturday night get-together led to gunfire on Britain Drive with no suspects in custody. It was the first of three homicides in three days in Gwinnett County.
“I just wanted to stay away from whatever was going on, just mind my own business,” a neighbor said.
