Police are looking for a man who was caught on camera spraying an Atlanta apartment complex with a high-powered gun two days in a row.
Officers were sent to the complex at 455 Fulton Street just after 6 p.m. March 17. When they got there, they saw multiple apartments and cars riddled with bullet holes, according to Atlanta police spokesman James H. White.
A surveillance video shows the man get out of the passenger side of a black, four-door Jeep Wrangler in the complex parking lot. A second person appears to be in the car, which rolls backward before coming to a complete stop.
Then, the man walks into the lot and opens fire at the apartments with what appears to be a rifle.
The man came back again the next day, police said. Just before 8:30 that morning, he again fired at the apartments.
No one was injured in either incident.
Police are looking into whether the man was targeting a specific person, Channel 2 Action News reported. Several residents told the news station they were inside their homes when the bullets started flying.
Sharon Bryant said she was in her apartment with her grandchildren at the time. She told Channel 2 she grabbed them and hit the floor.
"It could have went right through me and my grandkids and stuff," Bryant said. "I was afraid.”
