NORCROSS —

Residents of a Gwinnett apartment complex told Channel 2 Action News they’ve been overrun by snakes in recent weeks. Channel 2’s Tom Regan learned more about the snake invasion and what could be causing it.

The most recent snake sighting happened in the breezeway of the Bradford Gwinnett Apartment building. It was described as a giant copperhead that terrified residents.

“If it got into my house, I don’t know what I would have done,” said resident Juanita Kennemore.

Kennemore said one of the venomous copperheads was caught last Sunday. A resident took a picture of the snake after killing it with a brick.

“It was copperhead and it was very huge and I feel it wasn’t safe for the kids,” Kennemore said.

Zoo Atlanta confirmed to Regan that the snake in the picture was a copperhead. It’s estimated that it was one of seven snakes that have been spotted by residents in the apartments in recent weeks.
