UPDATE: ActionNewsJax has reported that a second victim has died in Monday’s Midtown shooting in Atlanta.


ATLANTA — The Atlanta Police Department said they have arrested a woman accused of shooting three people and killing one inside a Midtown condo building.

Police were called to the condominium complex at 1280 West Peachtree St. around 1:45 p.m. regarding a shooting. Local reporters confirmed one person is dead, according to WSB-TV.

A witness said the shooting took place inside the management office. Neighbors who live in the building told reporter Larry Spruill that the shooter was a woman, which police later confirmed.

The two surviving victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The extent of their injuries is unknown. (Update: One of the two surviving victims has died, leaving two dead and one survivor whose condition is unknown.)

Atlanta police released photos of the woman they said was responsible for the shootings, according to multiple reports.

Although details are scarce, law enforcement authorities made the arrest about 4:14 p.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Yahoo News reported.

A viewer of Channel 2 Action News tweeted a photo showing what appears to be the woman accused of the shooting as she’s being taken into custody at the airport.
