Grogan said 'Dunwoody is a very diverse community, welcoming people of all faiths,' adding that the police department 'is committed to protecting our citizens and will conduct a thorough investigation'.

He said the family will not press charges if the man comes forward and apologizes.
'We thank local law enforcement for pledging to investigate this despicable attack, which is the latest in a wave of anti-Muslim hate crimes across the nation,' Mitchell said in a news release.
Mitchell was referring to the three death threats at Atlanta-area mosques last month. Local Jewish institutions have also received bomb threats.
