Man killed in Atlantic Station apartment shooting ID’d
One person was killed and two others were injured Monday in a shooting inside a mixed-use building in Atlantic Station, an official said.
The shooting happened inside an apartment at the 17th Street Lofts shortly before 6 p.m. Atlanta police said two men, ages 23 and 26, and a 32-year-old woman were found suffering from gunshot wounds.
The 23-year-old was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition and later died. He was identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office as Donnie Harber.
The two others were also taken to a hospital. Their conditions were not provided.
Stores and restaurants within Atlantic Station were not impacted, according to police, aside from the yellow police tape strung up in the area. Atlantic Station management told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution they do not oversee the 17th Street Lofts.
“The incident was contained to the interior of that building, and there is no ongoing threat to the public,” officials with Atlantic Station said.
Police spokesperson Lt. Christopher Butler called the shooting an “isolated incident.” On the ground floor of the apartment at 230 18th St. is a Subway, The Athlete’s Foot, an Atlanta United team store, Victoria’s Secret, and Bath and Body Works.
No one else was injured, but at least one bullet went through a wall.
“We’ve located one round that did travel through an apartment. Thankfully that apartment was vacant,” Butler said.
Police said late Monday they were still trying to determine what led to the shooting. No details on a suspect were released.
