5 people shot, 1 dead; police searching for shooter

ATLANTA — Atlanta police are trying to find the gunman who shot five people, killing one of them.

Police told Channel 2 Action News they were called to the Hidden Village apartments on Landrum Drive in southwest Atlanta. When they arrived, they found five people shot.

Authorities said they're searching for the shooter.

Investigators said it started when two large groups got into a fight late Sunday night. Someone came back and settled their differences with a gun.

“About an hour later, the fighting began again and multiple rounds were fired,” said Capt. Ricardo Vazquez.

One person died. Medics rushed a second person to the hospital.

Three others with gunshot injuries drove off and stopped four miles later a gas station looking for help.

"Ended up at a RaceTrac on Camp Creek Parkway, and East Point police were called to that location," Vazquez said.

Police said they'll survive.
