A man was killed Thursday morning when gunfire erupted at a busy shopping center in southwest Atlanta, according to authorities.

The shooting happened at around 10:15 a.m. at the Princeton Lakes Shopping Center in the 3700 block of Carmia Drive, police said. The shopping center, located near Camp Creek Parkway and I-285, is home to a Publix supermarket and several shops and stores.

When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim, who was not publicly identified, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical crews, police said.

No information was provided about the suspect or what led to the shooting, but Channel 2 Action News reported that it happened inside a barbershop. At the nearby Publix, Vicki Lyons expressed fears for her safety as she picked up groceries after the incident, according to the news station.

“Just praying for some more peaceful times so that we can feel safe coming out shopping and taking care of our kids and not feel like something crazy is going to happen like this,” she said.

Police said detectives responded to the scene and are investigating.
