1 killed, 1 injured in shooting at DeKalb County apartments, police say

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - DeKalb County police are investigating a deadly shooting at an apartment complex on Pleasantdale Road.

Officers were called to the scene at The Landing at Pleasantdale apartments shortly after 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday. According to the DeKalb County Police Department, officers found a woman suffering from two gunshot wounds. 

FOX 5 cameras saw officers putting up crime scene tape and focusing their investigation on a building near the back of the complex.

A resident at the complex told FOX 5 that she heard gunfire and then a woman screamed out that she had been hit.

The resident said she peered out of her window and saw the woman get into a car and drive away.

It's believed the woman went to a shopping center about half a mile away from the apartment then called for help. 

Medics rushed that woman to a local hospital in critical condition. Officials have not shared any details about her identity or condition.

DeKalb County police have confirmed that a second person, who was later identified as the suspect, was killed at the complex. Investigators believe he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Information about the second victim has not been released.

At this time, investigators are working to determine what led up to the violence.
