ATLANTA — Atlanta Police are asking the public for help in identifying a suspect involved in an alleged aggravated assault at the Rev. James Orange Park near the pool.
Police said it happened on Monday, June 28 at 7:36 p.m. Officers were dispatched to a call of a "dispute with a weapon." When officers arrived, a lifeguard said a teen snuck in and she asked him to leave, according to the police report.
APD said when the teen left, he jumped a fence and scraped his arm. He returned to the pool with his mom and several others, who said the lifeguard injured her son.
During that time, APD said a man wearing a red shirt and red shorts entered the pool's locked gates and started an argument with the lifeguard.
According to APD, he told the lifeguard that "He's there for her and he wants her" and pulled out a black handgun, shooting the gun once in the air and a second time in an unknown direction.
APD said no injuries were reported.
Officers also said the lifeguard had just started at the pool and didn't know the people who came to the pool.
If anyone has any information about the incident, APD said to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at www.StopCrimeAtl.org. APD said you can remain anonymous and there is a reward up to $2,000 for the arrest and indictment of the suspects involved.
