1 dead, 1 injured in shooting during possible attempted robbery, police say

ATLANTA — One man was killed and another was injured after a shooting in southwest Atlanta Saturday, police said.

The shooting happened on the 2800 block of Martin Luther King Drive at the Seven Courts Apartments.

Channel 2's Michael Seiden is at the scene, where a massive police presence gathered and shell casings littered the complex.

People at the complex told Seiden they ran for cover when they heard dozens of gunshots fired outside.

Police found two men in their late 20s or early 30s at the location with multiple gunshot wounds. Both were taken to hospitals, where one died.

It is unclear what condition the surviving victim is in.

Police said they are still looking for a shooter or possibly more than one shooter.

Seiden spoke to detectives, who are interviewing more than half a dozen witnesses. Investigators are also reviewing surveillance footage.

Seiden talked to Zekia Ford, who witnessed the shooting.

"A bunch of gunshots, children running an screaming. Grown people running and screaming," Ford said, describing the scene.

A neighbor, who asked Seiden not to identify her, recorded a video of emergency crews tending to the survivor from her balcony.

That victim told police he and the man who died were shot during an attempted robbery.

At this point, police do not have anyone in custody and are not sure if there is more than one shooter.
