Wonder when we're going to hear the details, hopefully no causalities!

Apparently it's at the CDC campus?
I can't find the link that I saw that at.
Turning on local news and thinking "not again".
IMO.

The Atlanta Police Department is responding. Further details were not immediately available.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

News anchor just said possibly two shooters involved. I'm skeptical on that one. Seems like that's the go-to response for any active shooting situation.

Staff at a deli near campus locked the doors and hunkered down inside. Brandy Giraldo, General Muir’s chief operating officer, said staffers inside heard a string of gunshots.

“It sounded like fireworks going off, one right after the other,” she said.

'An active shooter opened fire at Emory College on Friday afternoon
- raining bullets near students' apartments in Atlanta, Georgia.

Terrified locals were told to
'RUN, HIDE, FIGHT'
after a gunman shot out near multiple buildings in the vicinity
- including at a nearby CVS pharmacy at Emory Point.

One police officer was shot and taken to a local hospital.

Dozens of police vehicles swarmed the college campus on Friday afternoon.

Emory University and Emory University Hospital have been placed on lockdown."

Watching 11Alive, there was a Dekalb County Sheriff shot, and possibly another officer hit. Nothing on their condition but they were taken to Grady. There may be a second shooter.
Everything seems to be centered on the CVS store there, and Emory is still tweeting to shelter in place. News helicopters are being asked to pull back.
There are a lot of businesses there, along with a lot of trees. And apartments, including right above the CVS.
Huge LE turnout and the area is locked down.
IMO.

Edit: Grady is now saying that any patients are going to Emory hospital.
