A daughter is speaking out for the first time about the double shooting that took place inside a rooming home on Bolton Road last weekend.
“Why would you do that? Why, why why?” Shardia Williams asked. “I’m trying to hold up the best way I can.”
Williams told Channel 2 Action News reporter Veronica Griffin her father was one of the two men shot inside a Southwest Atlanta home; both died.

“I just remember getting the phone call. And seemed like everything after that just went blank,” Williams said.
Leonard Bridges , 61, a father of four and grandfather is sorely missed.
“He was a loving person. And that was my daddy, our daddy and loving father and he will be truly missed,” Williams said.
Just a few miles away, on Saturday there were balloons and lots of hugs at a celebration of life for the second victim, Jerome Johnson , 66, also known as Uncle J.
Johnson was also gunned down inside the rooming home, his family telling Channel 2 Action News he was shot multiple times.
