Investigators think there was only one shooter, according to Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum. According to the chief, there were many rounds of shooting. Whether or not the shooter shot himself was not immediately known.
No citizens were hurt, according to Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens’ statement Friday evening.
Dickens remarked, “We thank God for that.”
According to Dickens, 92 kids in all were being detained in a local daycare facility and were unharmed.
The DeKalb County campus of Emory was notified of a shooter at a CVS store at approximately 5:00 p.m.
FIGHT, HIDE, RUN. Stay away from the area. There is shelter, according to school officials.
Police said that the emergency gunshot incident was over just before 7 p.m.
Because of police operations, Clifton Road and the surrounding corridors remained closed. Photographs taken by people inside the CDC Roybal Campus building revealed bullet-shattered glass.
Georgia was threatened by an active shooter for the second time in a few days. Colleagues at Fort Stewart, west of Savannah, were shot at by a soldier earlier this week.
Deranged criminals have targeted innocent Georgians twice this week, according to a social media message from Governor Brian Kemp. Every time, courageous first responders hurried to the scene to stop the gunman and rescue lives, serving as a constant reminder of how important they are.
Law enforcement personnel from many other local departments, such as Atlanta, Fulton County, Doraville, Chamblee, Dunwoody, and Sandy Springs, as well as FBI agents from the Atlanta office and the GBI, descended upon the area in addition to Emory campus police.
Kemp stated, “Marty, the girls, and I are grateful to everyone who serves and defends their fellow Georgians.” Please join us in praying for them and everyone injured this evening close to the CDC Center.
