Gunfire erupted in central Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, killing at least one person and wounding three as police searched for the assailant, authorities said.
Local residents were asked to stay away from the neighborhood of 1110 W. Peachtree St. after an “active shooter” was reported at about 12:30 p.m., officials said.
Police posted pictures of a suspect who was “still at large.”
“Three have been transported to the hospital for treatment and a fourth has been pronounced deceased on scene,” police said in a statement. “Officers are actively searching for the suspect and any other victims.”
The address disclosed by police appears to match the location of Northside Family Medicine and Urgent Care.
Within minutes of the police alert, the block the facility is on was flooded with squad cars and ambulances.
There were few pedestrians on the street, in what would ordinarily be a busy lunch hour in Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood.
