Dunwoody House Fire Among Three Overnight DeKalb Incidents

A house on Peeler Road in Dunwoody was heavily damaged in a fire early on November 11. Fire crews were called at about 3 a.m. to the home in the 2200 block and were still working to extinguish it after 5 a.m. A separate account placed the response at about 3:30 a.m. and described flames engulfing the two-story building.

Officials said the home appeared to have been empty for several months, and no injuries were reported. A neighbor or passerby may have alerted authorities. Investigators are working to establish how the fire began; no cause had been determined.

The fire was one of several overnight incidents in DeKalb County. About two hours earlier, officers went to the area of Rockbridge Road and Ridge Circle, where a black Audi had been hit by gunfire and several windows were broken by shots. Police had released no further details.

A little more than 45 minutes before the Audi call, officers went to Glenwood Road in Decatur after receiving word that someone on foot had been hit. The individual was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital. Authorities had not provided additional information about the incident.
