Drivers caught on camera doing donuts Downtown; onlookers say it's only the beginning

Large crowds gathered Downtown overnight into Sunday to watch what seemed like a scene from the ‘Fast and Furious’ movies. Officials believe there may have even been a shooting. FOX 5 obtained videos of the chaos that broke out near the campus of Georgia State University.

Racers took over the intersection of Courtland Street and John Wesley Dobbs Avenue, doing donuts as people cheered them on. It's a crime that the Atlanta Police Department have been trying to crack down on for quite some time.

At one point, things got completely out of hand and some in the crowd began jumping on one of the cars.

The video shows the Georgia State Patrol show up to shut it all down.

Troopers said they tracked several drivers using their helicopter, later arresting several drivers on reckless stunt driving charges.

They also tracked down the driver of a Charger who they say pulled out a gun and fired a shot, sending people in the crowd running.

That driver was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and reckless conduct.

The GSP says there were no injuries resulting from the suspected gunfire.

FOX 5 spoke to two men who said they were there, and they claimed this was just a glimpse at what the summer in Atlanta will look like.

"Last night, man, it was a movie. You just had to be here," one of them men said. "This is happening every other weekend man. Watch out. It’s happening every weekend."

"I just saw like a bunch of people crowding a car," an onlooker who said he was inside during the events. "From my floor, I saw somebody randomly jump on it and the car was dented. Bro must’ve been mad."

That blue car seen in the video was dented as people danced and jumped on it. It's not clear what led up to that moment.

The Georgia State Patrol said that same night, a trooper was led on a chase after attempting to pull over a white Dodge Charger Hellcat on I-20 East at Glenwood.

"At the time of the attempted traffic stop, several vehicles were grouped together and at least four vehicles initiated a pursuit," a spokesperson told FOX 5.

Troopers called off the pursuit after the fleeing suspects turned off their headlights and continued at high speeds.

Atlanta police have yet to release any information about their response to the incident.
