ATLANTA (AP) — An off-duty police officer shot and wounded a teenaged male who officials say was exchanging gunfire with a crowd at an Atlanta retail and office development.
Georgia State University interim Police Chief Anthony Coleman tells local news outlets that an off-duty university officer fired and struck the man Sunday night. The officer was working at Atlantic Station, north of downtown Atlanta.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says the teen had an argument with a group of people and then ran a short distance away. Investigators say the teen and people from the group then began shooting at each other.
Coleman said the unnamed Georgia State officer shot the teen and then delivered first aid until other officers arrived. The unnamed gunman was taken to a hospital.
Atlanta police say they had responded to reports of a unruly crowd at the development, but that no Atlanta city officers fired their weapons.
