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.

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2017, and they’ll be relying on a new coaching staff to help them get there. But Kevin Stefanski is no rookie; he’s a two-time NFL Coach of the Year, only now he’ll be working with an entirely different group of personnel after coaching in Cleveland since 2020.
In addition to a new coach, the Falcons may have a different starting quarterback as Michael Penix Jr. continues to rehab last season’s torn ACL. He’ll also be competing with Tua Tagovailoa. Together, the Falcons believe they can compete for a playoff spot in the NFC South, but to do so, they’ll need all the help they can get. Unfortunately, the Falcons may not have everyone on hand to start the season.
According to The Athletic‘s Falcons insider Josh Kendall, the NFL is “likely” to suspend edge rusher James Pearce Jr.
Pearce faces three felony charges after an incident with his former girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Pearce’s charges are for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing the police, and resisting arrest with violence.
“Atlanta now appears to be waiting on the NFL to decide on Pearce. Under the league’s personal conduct policy, commissioner Roger Goodell has wide latitude to impose discipline regardless of the outcome of the criminal case. The league is likely to suspend Pearce. Steelers defensive back Cam Sutton was suspended eight games in 2024 after a domestic violence incident that began as a felony charge but was eventually reduced to a misdemeanor. Goodell could also place Pearce on the commissioner’s exempt list, which serves as an indefinite suspension while the league gathers more information.”
The Athletic’s Josh Kendall on James Pearce
Pearce is coming off an excellent rookie season that saw him record a team-high 10.5 sacks while starting three of his 17 appearances. The 26th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft looks like he’s poised to be a star. Yet, now the 22-year-old may have to wait to start his second NFL season. The question is how long?
If Pearce is forced to miss time, the Falcons will be counting on others, such as fellow 2025 first-round pick Jalon Walker, to make a bigger impact. The 22-year-old Walker recorded 5.5 sacks, making nine sacks in 15 appearances.

I’ve also heard that Atlanta sees great value in Swain at No. 23, but the Hawks have been signaling for some time that they are prepared (and perhaps even prefer) to trade their second pick in the first round after No. 8 for future draft capital. It sounds as though Atlanta will invite external trade interest for that pick until it is actually on the clock to make the selection Tuesday night.
