A 40-year-old man, Tyrone Rolland of Stone Mountain, has been nabbed by the authorities for inciting pandemonium in a DeKalb County nightclub last month through what the deputies described as a "mass chaos" shooting incident. Rolland, detained in Cobb County and now held in the DeKalb County Jail without bond, is facing a slew of charges, including aggravated assault with intent to murder, as reported by Atlanta News First.
The ordeal unfolded at Da Spot nightclub on Buford Highway when Rolland allegedly decided to rain down at least five bullets at an individual standing outside the venue. The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the situation quickly devolved into a full-blown shootout, causing injuries to three patrons within the club’s walls and significantly damaging two vehicles parked outside.
Rolland's rap sheet includes aggravated battery with three counts, first-degree criminal damage to property, two counts of second-degree criminal damage to property, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Additional misdemeanor charges for the discharge of firearms within 50 yards of a public highway or street and reckless conduct have also been filed against him, according to Atlanta News First.
Reports from Brookhaven police indicate the shootings occurred shortly after 5:30 a.m. on November 11, but the severity of the injuries sustained in the incident remains unclear. The nighttime revelry deviated into violence and fear as the gunfire resonated through the crowded space of the club, as per WSB-TV.
