At least 1 killed, 1 injured in East Point shooting

It happened at a shopping center overnight on Delowe Drive.

EAST POINT, Ga. — At least one person was killed and another person was injured early Saturday morning in a shooting in East Point.

It happened at a shopping center on Delowe Drive, near the intersection with Headland Drive.

"Officers were informed that there was an altercation with several unknown people attempting to get into the location and gunshots soon began," East Point Police.

They said officers on scene were told "multiple gunshot victims left the scene." It was not clear how many. 

Video from the scene showed dozens of shell casings in the parking lot as well as officers combing through broken class at the entrance of the Delowe Loft arts and event space.

The victim killed was a Black woman, the Fulton County Medical Examiner told 11Alive's Karys Belger. The medical examiner's office could not release an identity because she did not have ID on her and they have not been able to yet find her family.

Atlanta Police said the injured person was driven from the scene to Grady Hospital. East Point Police said that person had injuries that were not life-threatening.

Police have not yet said what led up to the shooting.

"The scene was turned over to East Point Detectives and they are actively investigating," East Point Police said. "More information will be released as it comes available."
