Two people are dead and another has been wounded in a pair of shootings in Atlanta, and a female suspect is in custody, police say.
The afternoon attacks in the Midtown chilled the metropolis as authorities initially feared an active shooter could be roaming its center, gun in-hand. But police said late in the afternoon that the attacks appeared to be targeted.
Police tracked the suspect to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where she was taken into custody without incident about 4 p.m., Atlanta Police Department Interim Chief Darin Schierbaum said at the news conference. Police confirmed that she may have worked at one of the shooting locations and said any possible connection to the address was part of the investigation.
