"I was looking at a movie on my phone then I heard, like, five shots," neighbor Ranier Fields told WSB-TV. "I saw somebody lying down in the corner over here on the ground. I saw cops trying to revive him."

Firefighters just happened to be nearby at the time: They were at the complex responding to a call about a mother who locked her child inside her car. They were called to the crime scene to assist.

Authorities continue to investigate a possible motive in the double shooting and why the victims, both from Montgomery, Ala., were in Georgia.

One person was detained by police, but authorities have not said whether they are connected to the shooting.
