Ok I see it was verbal when the father intervened but here it is.
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/4214509/detail.htmlConyers -- A Rockdale County man hosting a birthday party for his 16-year-old daughter shot dead one of the party guests while trying to break up a fight, police said Sunday.
Edward Leverette, 53, a retired bus mechanic, was jailed on felony murder and aggravated assault charges in the death of Reginal Pettway, 23, of Covington.
Police said Pettway and another party guest started fighting at about midnight Friday at Leverette's house at 690 Pleasant Hill Road in Conyers, and Leverette grabbed a gun.
"When the two young men were fighting it was just verbal and then when the father intervened it ended up being a tragedy," Rockdale County Police spokeswoman Jodi Shupe said. "People need to understand that guns are very dangerous and can result in death. It's not a way to try to intervene and try to stop a fight."
Neither Pettway nor the other guest was armed, police said.
Investigators said about 75 guests were at the party and they planned to interview each one
