A woman died Saturday night after being shot inside her home in Gwinnett County, authorities said.
At about 7 p.m., officers were called to the residence on Creeldale Drive after a 911 operator was told that a woman was suffering from a gunshot wound inside, police spokeswoman Lt. Michele Pihera said. The house is located near Lucky Shoals Park and Jimmy Carter Boulevard.
When officers and county firefighters arrived at the home, they found the woman dead. Police said the name of the victim, who was in her 30s, was not released as next-of-kin has not yet been notified.
At the scene, police vehicles illuminated the night sky outside the home, where lights from a Christmas tree were still visible in an upstairs window.
The residence was secured by officers, and detectives were called to the scene to investigate, police said. They were in the process of interviewing witnesses who were home at the time of the gunfire, but “no charges have been filed against the shooter,” Pihera said.
Pihera said detectives would work with the county medical examiner to determine the cause and manner of death. The shooting remains under investigation.
