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.
