ATLANTA (NEXSTAR) — One person was killed and four people were injured Wednesday in an “active shooter situation” in a building in Atlanta's Midtown neighborhood, police said.
The Atlanta Police Department said on Twitter that the shooter was inside a building on West Peachtree Street, between 12th and 13th Streets. The building in question is Northside Hospital Medical, according to CNN.
One person was pronounced dead at the scene, police said on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
The other victims were taken to a separate hospital, Grady Memorial Hospital, and were undergoing surgery, CNN reported. Grady Memorial, which has Atlanta's only nationally verified Level 1 trauma center, is just 3 miles south of Northside.
