Sunday, two Sagamore Hill neighbors encountered three young men walking along the CSX railway from Mason Mill Park toward North Druid Hills Road carrying some kind of rifles.  The neighbors called a CHCA board member who called 911 and the police arrived within minutes and accosted the young men.  No details were reported on what kind of guns they had, but the police thanked the neighbors for calling it in.  County ordinance prohibits firing any weapons within 1500 feet of any residence, and there is no location within Mason Mill Park that is not within 1500 feet of residences. County ordinance also prohibits paint "in any form" within any park. That should include paint ball as well as the spray paint used by vandals, both of which have also been seen in the park. We recommend calling 911  if you see or hear guns in the park or if you see people with paint.
