1 killed and 1 injured in a shooting at the Honduran consulate near Atlanta
DORAVILE, Ga. — A shooting Monday at the Honduran consulate just outside Atlanta that left one person dead and another injured, and left a suspect in custody, authorities said.
Doraville police responded to a report of gunshots around 2:30 p.m. and found two people who had been shot, city spokesperson Emily Heenan said. One of the people was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to a hospital for treatment, she said.
A suspect was taken into custody at the scene and taken to the Doraville Police Department for questioning, Heenan said. She did not provide any information about a possible motive for the shooting.
The shooting took place just outside the main entrance of the consulate, Heenan said. Officers remained at the scene to interview witnesses and collect evidence.
Heenan said she could not release more information about the victims or the suspected shooter because police were still contacting family members.
