Fight between co-workers ends in shots fired at Emory University campus, gunman on the run

ATLANTA - A fight between catering co-workers led to a shooting and an emergency alert on Emory University's campus on Thursday morning, police say.

The university sent out an alert around 8:20 a.m. saying that there is a "police emergency on Emory Atlanta Campus at Emory Point."

FOX 5 cameras spotted multiple Emory Police patrol cars and officers at the scene on Avenue Place. The area is a mixed-used development that includes housing, stores, and restaurants.

According to the Emory Police Department, the incident began as a dispute between co-workers. 

The gunman, whom police described as a 60-year-old Black man, reportedly grabbed a gun from his car, returned to the kitchen and opened fire - missing his target. 

Police say the man then fled the building, brandished the gun at another co-worker, and drove off.

Investigators are now searching for the suspected gunman, who is believed to be driving a 2021 silver Chevrolet Malibu with the license plate CXZ7407. 

After police determined the man was no longer in the area, Emory issued an all-clear for the alert at around 8:44 a.m.
