ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta’s mayor says four people have been shot at a food court in downtown Atlanta, including the initial shooter. Mayor Andre Dickens said the shooting happened Tuesday afternoon at the Peachtree Center food court. Atlanta police said in a post that all four who were shot were alert and conscious. Authorities say one of the four is believed to be the suspect. Officials did not immediately say who wounded the initial shooter or what prompted the shooting. Peachtree Center is a complex of office towers and an underground mall just blocks from several hotels that are popular venues for Atlanta’s busy convention business.
