An Atlanta area community in unincorporated DeKalb County outside Atlanta is counting themselves lucky after no one was injured when an armed man with anger issues walked into an elementary school and barricaded himself in the school office. 20-year-old Michael Brandon Hill was wearing all black and was armed with an AK-47 assault-style rifle when he allegedly fired about six shots at police before surrendering peacefully after they returned fire. The father of one student said Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy definitely needs to upgrade security and that anyone can walk into the school.
