Gunfire Incidents in Atlanta, Chattanooga Prompt Arrests

Chattanooga police arrested 59-year-old John Billingsley after he allegedly fired four shots at his brother during an argument at a Cambridge Drive home over household bills, leaving the 60-year-old hospitalized. Billingsley acknowledged shooting his brother but said he feared an attack and claimed his brother threatened him with a knife; the victim gave a different account, and investigators reportedly found the physical evidence more consistent with the victim’s version. Reports differ on the exact charges: two describe attempted second-degree murder and aggravated domestic assault, while another lists second-degree murder and aggravated assault charges.
