3 dead, 1 hurt in Buckhead shooting, police say
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Three people are dead and one man is injured after a shooting in Buckhead Saturday evening.
According to the Atlanta Police Department, the shooting was linked to drug activity within one of the units at 3005 Buckhead Apartments around 6:25 p.m.
“This wasn’t like a home invasion type of scenario. We believe that the perpetrators were invited in for that drug exchange. It was some type of drug transaction that was taking place inside the apartment,” said Maj. Peter Malecki.
Three victims in their 20s were pronounced dead on the 11th floor of the building and one victim was transported to the hospital by ambulance, police said.
“We did recover a couple of handguns on the scene, but again, we still have testing to do to see which weapons were involved in what part,” said Maj. Peter Malecki.
Police have not released the identities of any of the victims.
