This is a northeast suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County
SUWANEE — Five Gwinnett County firefighters are being held hostage at home in Suwanee.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Cpl. Edwin Ritter said that, as of 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, a gunman was holding the handful of firefighters hostage at a home at 2440 Walnut Grove Way, not far from the intersection of Collins Hill and Taylor roads.
"It appears that the fire department responded to this residence for some type of medical call," Ritter said. "I have very little information on the motive at this time."
The police department's SWAT team was on scene.

Well, maybe he can explain the foolishness.
This is an subdivision of very nice homes.
Don’t know the value now, but they were all around $200,000
about 10 years ago.

Real close to my best friend’s neighborhood. We are in Gwinnett but far away from Suwanee.

This Wesley Gossan, lives next door, says it’s over, whatever that means.
Gossan thinks they have good news, because nobody’s panicking.
