New details are emerging about the events surrounding a shooting at a church in Mt. Airy Wednesday morning. The incident on the property of Central Alliance Church happened across the street from the Habersham Ninth Grade Academy and Habersham Central High School. While officials stress it was not school-related, the schools were placed on lockdown and the heavy police presence had the community on edge in the wake of Tuesday's deadly school shooting in Texas.

Habersham E-911 dispatched officers to the area after a 911 caller reported hearing a gunshot.

The investigation later revealed that a 17-year-old girl's father traced her cellphone to the church and found her with a 17-year-old boy. The father allegedly assaulted the boy and fired a shot at him. The attack and ricochet debris injured the boy.
