Burruss said her family's thoughts and prayers went out to those who were harmed or negatively impacted by Friday's violence. She added that she's aware that the matter is being investigated by police and that she and others with Old Lady Gang are cooperating with law enforcement during their search for answers.

"As African-American business owners, it has been our goal to invest in our community by bringing jobs, quality dining, and a positive experience to the greater Atlanta area," Burruss wrote. "We hope that you know and understand that the acts of violence that occurred yesterday evening do not, in any way, serve as a reflection of OLG or its values."
