ORIGINAL STORY
Possible gunshots erupt at a southeast Atlanta apartment complex as police investigate a double shooting which left one man dead.
Officers were called out around 6:30 p.m. Monday evening to 200 block of Moury Avenue SE near Prior Road SW inside The Village at Carver apartments.
Atlanta Police say two men were shot at the location. One of the men was dead at the scene and other was injured. The second man was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital. He was alert, conscious and breathing.
The names of those shot have not been released.
Atlanta Police Lt Germain Dearlove says this happened during a vigil for two teens who were shot and killed in the same complex a year ago. Investigators say the person responsible was arrested in that case.
"They were at a balloon release for one of their friends and another friend ended up getting murdered," said Sabrina McGhee.
FOX 5 crews found a large section of the parking lot blocked by crime scene tape. One person was seen being led away in handcuffs.
As police were investigating the double shooting, officers heard what sounded like shots being fired. They ran to find the source. Police say those shots could not immediately be linked to the double shooting.
Moments later, a second person was taken into custody.
The names of those taken into custody have not been released. It was not clear if either would be charged in connection to the shooting.
"The kids need to put the guns down because there's too much senseless killing," McGhee said. "I don't know what the reason was, but there's too many killing going on with these kids."
The Atlanta Police Department's Homicide Unit is investigating.
About two and a half hours later, police were investigating a double shooting along Boulevard. There was nothing immediate known to link the two scenes together.
