Police said gunfire caused a water line to burst, which flooded the crime scene. They asked maintenance to clean it up and hoped the water did not compromise possible evidence.
Police said they detained several people of interest in the shooting.
They received the call of shots fired just before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Metropolitan Business and Arts District on Metropolitan Parkway.
"When they arrived on the scene and made entry, they discovered the bodies of two males that apparently had succumbed to multiple gunshot injuries," Atlanta Police Department Maj. Adam Lee said.
Investigators say the victims appeared to be in their 20s. Officers say this may have been a gun fight.
"My friend was actually in a studio next door when it happened, and he said it sounded like Iraq," Livius Almasan said.
Detectives told Klaus they confiscated several guns at the scene.
They are interviewing people of interest, who were still at the scene when officers arrived.
