ATLANTA (AP) -- A DeKalb County detective has testified that a September shooting that left three people dead, including a toddler, resulted from an argument over a game of dominoes.

Detective R.B. Bryant revealed that motive at a Tuesday hearing during which Magistrate Judge C. David Wood bound over 24-year-old Ronald Clemons' case to Superior Court.

Byrant testified that Clemons was playing dominoes with 39-year-old Grover Strickland and 54-year-old Michael Thomas in the early morning hours of Sept. 22.

He said witnesses reported an argument broke out and Clemons was
asked to leave several times after he got loud and began cursing.

Clemons left and is accused of returning with an assault rifle.

He's accused of killing Strickland, Thomas and 3-year-old Janiyha Daniels.

A woman who was shot twice in the shoulder survived.

TO ALL YOU HATERS....My doctor is black, my dentist is black, my sister in law is black, my best man at my wedding was black, my closest friend is black....and we all talk about the lack of priorities within the black community and the rise in crime....not to mention the lack of morals or ethics amoung them also. You may not like to hear the truth, the media refuses to tell you the truth...and the violence that is committed by them. And if they do ever tell you the truth about race, you would call them racists too...as you do to me. BTW....I am still making high 5 figures..borderline 6...dont hate me becuase I run my own company and have white employees I can trust...and a black man to oversee them!

President Obama heads to Cleveland, Ohio Wednesday to announce a series of measures he hopes will help jump start the economy. He'll propose letting businesses write off all their new investments in plant and equipment through 2011. According to the New York Times, the President also hopes to help consumers by extending Bush-era tax cuts for families earning less than 250,000 dollars a year. But he will rule out any compromise that would extend the tax cuts for the wealthy.
