Man shot by police officer on Middleton Road
A man was shot by a police officer on Middleton Road NW around 11:45 p.m. Wednesday night, according to police. The man was allegedly chasing a woman before the shooting. This is breaking news.
ATLANTA – An officer working an off-duty assignment shot an armed man late Christmas Eve after responding to reports of a woman being chased and shot at an apartment complex in northwest Atlanta, according to Atlanta Police Department.
What we know:
According to preliminary information, the incident happened around 11:45 p.m. on Dec. 24 at The Commons apartment complex, located in the 3000 block of Middleton Road NW. An officer working an extra job at the complex reported hearing gunshots and was then flagged down by two people who said a man with a gun was chasing a woman and had shot her.
Police said the officer encountered the armed suspect and issued multiple verbal commands to drop the weapon. Investigators say the suspect did not comply, and the officer fired their weapon, striking the suspect.
Other officers responded to the scene and rendered aid. The suspect was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment.
What we don’t know:
No information has been released about the condition of the woman involved or whether she was injured.
What’s next:
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation responded to the scene and is leading the investigation, as is standard in officer-involved shootings. Police emphasized that the information released so far is preliminary and may change as the investigation continues.
A program that teaches young Atlantans how to ride bikes suffered a major loss this week, after thieves emptied a storage trailer, making off with 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The “Shifting Gears” program helps young cyclists learn how to navigate city streets on two wheels from an early age — particularly in underserved communities that suffer from high rates of traffic injuries and fatalities.

An Atlanta nonprofit is asking the public for help after it was the victim of a brazen theft earlier this week.
Propel ATL said that thieves cleared out an entire trailer of bicycles meant for underprivileged kids sometime on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
Jeremiah Jones, the nonprofit’s advocacy manager, said that someone broke into the trailer and took 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The equipment was part of a program that gives bikes to children from low-income schools and teaches them how to ride.
“My heart sank when I got the call that all the bikes were gone. I said, ‘Surely not all of them.’ And all of them are gone,” Jones said. “This class is solely for kids, and this crime is affecting them.”
Atlanta police are reviewing security footage from the area. Jones said you could see people taking the bikes out of the trailer, carrying them down a hill, and bringing them into a nearby parking lot.
The nonprofit is now trying to raise more than $10,000 to replace the bikes.
Propel ATL is also asking who may have information about the theft to contact them at programs@letspropelatl.org.
A man was arrested at a concert last week after he shoved two kids off their bicycles, causing one of them to fall into a fountain, Sandy Springs police said. FOX 5 Atlanta’s Brittany Edney reporting.
