He slipped into a school Tuesday afternoon, creating a nightmare for hundreds in the community. The alleged gunman, identified Tuesday night as 20-year-old Michael Brandon Hill, was quickly taken into custody at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, near Decatur, according to police. The suspect, armed with an AK-47, barricaded himself in the front office before he fired shots at officers, who then returned fire, DeKalb County police Chief Cedric Alexander said Tuesday afternoon. No one was injured. But the hours-long ordeal was nothing short of a nightmare for parents and frightening for hundreds of students, in their second week of a new school year. The school bookkeeper, Antoinette Tuff, found herself alone with the alleged gunman, who instructed her to call one of the news stations. She called Channel 2 Action News. Tuff told Channel 2 in an exclusive interviewTuesday night that "I just started praying for him. I just started talking to him and allowing him to know some of my stories and let him know what was going on with me and that it would be OK. And then let him know that he could just give himself up." Tuff said she spent almost an hour with the suspect throughout the ordeal and asked him to put the weapon down
