1 detained after shots fired outside Atlanta Greyhound station

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Atlanta Police say one person was detained after someone reported hearing gunshots near the Atlanta Greyhound station Thursday night.

It happened on Forsyth Street SW.

Atlanta Police say no one was injured, and there was no property damage.

“I was standing right outside the Greyhound, and I heard a gunshot,” said witness Kendall Jones. “I looked up and saw two guys standing there, and a cop gets out of the car and goes up to them. One guy went this way. One went that way, and that’s when all the madness came and all the cops.”

There was no word on any arrests.

On Feb. 13, there was an officer-involved shooting in the same area.

Atlanta Police say during that exchange, an officer on patrol observed, what appeared to be, a vehicle break-in in progress. They say a vehicle parked along the street had a rear window broken out, broken glass on the ground outside the vehicle, and a man was in the backseat.

The officer approached the vehicle to investigate and, during the encounter, the officer fired his gun, striking the suspect. A gun was later found with the suspect, according to the report.

The suspect was transported to the hospital and expected to survive.
