ATLANTA — Two men were shot Saturday night after a fight broke out at a holiday party being held at a Buckhead hotel.
An off-duty Atlanta Police officer working a job at the Intercontinental Hotel off Peachtree Road was alerted to a large fight in the hotel at around 11:50 p.m. and called for backup.
Police said an investigation led them to believe a group had been at the hotel for the party when a man entered and began talking to women in attendance.
A dispute arose and the man drew a pistol and shot two of the male partygoers before being subdued by the crowd, police said in a statement. They said the alleged shooter was held until police arrived and took custody of him.
The two victims were taken to the hospital and were listed as stable, however, their condition was not provided.
Detectives continue to investigate the case and charges are pending. An earlier version of this story identified the subject and said he was jailed and charged with aggravated assault. An Atlanta Police spokesperson later said the initial information the department provided was incorrect and that an arrest had not been made.
On Dec. 1, there was an unrelated shooting at the same hotel in one of the guest rooms.
