Lt. Ricky Porter says the negotiators tried to arise peacefully, but finally the Swat officials moved into the house. Neal fired at the police and they shot back.

Neal was shot several times and one of the balls he had fired, went through a wall and hit officer Kenyon Ford in his leg.

Winne received a court record from May 2024 from Fulton County, who shows that Neal received a bond for serious bodily harm, childcare and much more. It is unclear whether this is related to the previous incident.
