Surveillance footage recorded the mysterious man firing shots in the Inman Park Reynoldstown Marta station parking lot.
People like Mo Nadizadeh said the gunman has left people frightened because they don’t know if he will shoot someone or what he intends to do.
Nadizadeh’s wife has altered her daily routine because of this.
“She doesn’t want to come out even in daylight by herself right now,” Nadizadeh said.
Neighbors say it is very unsettling to have this in their community and they are very concerned.
“My first worry is danger. So, is he dangerous? Obviously he’s dangerous if he’s got a loaded gun,” neighbor Diane Egede-Missen said.
