ATLANTA — Atlanta Police Department officers were called to Grady Memorial Hospital on Wednesday afternoon to investigate shots fired but said there is not an active shooter. APD said officers were on the scene near a parking garage at the hospital.
"We DO NOT have an active shooter, nor any persons shot or injured," APD said in an email.
Atlanta Police said they were initially notified about a "shots fired" call around 1:17 p.m. Once there, they found a man who they believed was involved in the shooting. They also found multiple vehicles damaged by gunfire.
The hospital confirmed was under a brief lockdown after receiving reports that shots had been fired on the second level of one of its parking decks. In a statement, hospital officials said they've resumed normal operations.
While details at this time are limited, officers said it appears the incident involved "multiple people who are known to one another."
