Early morning gunfire disrupted downtown Atlanta yesterday, resulting in one male being shot. Around 1:56 a.m., Atlanta police were summoned to the scene at 241 Forsyth St SW, where they discovered a male with a gunshot injury to his shoulder. According to the Atlanta Police Department's news release, emergency medical services transported the victim to the hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
The incident appears to have escalated from a dispute involving three men, ultimately resulting in an exchange of gunfire. Investigators have detained one male suspect and are continuing to interview witnesses and potential suspects as they work to piece together the sequence of events.
The Atlanta Police Department reports that the exact cause of the argument that led to the shooting remains unknown.
