Fight breaks out at DeKalb County courthouse
Seven people were arrested after a brawl outside a DeKalb County courtroom.
DeKalb County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Adrion Bell told Atlanta television stations that there were no major injuries and that more arrests are expected.
The fight broke out outside a hearing for a suspect accused in the killing of high school student Marcus Holloway in a drive-by shooting.
Bell said the fight involved about 20 people divided into three groups: A gang called "Hoe Haters," the gang's supporters and Holloway's family members.
The seven suspects are being held in DeKalb County Jail.
