CONYERS, Ga. — Conyers police have a suspect in custody after a shootout inside a crowded restaurant and a SWAT situation at a nearby home.
Police got a call of shots fired at the Chiquitos Cantina and Grill on Old Salem Road. Officers say a man fired several shots, which led to other customers pulling out their guns.
Channel 2’s Darryn Moore was at the restaurant during Channel 2 Action News This Morning.

SWAT officers walked three people out of the home. Police confirmed to Moore that one of them was the suspect. They have not released his name.
“Well, that’s good. He don’t need to be walking around here,” Stewart said.
