Atlanta police officers responding to reports of a shooting at a downtown apartment building Friday found a woman suffering from multiple wounds inside and a man who had fallen to his death outside.
Officers were called to the Altitude Apartments at 250 Piedmont Avenue just before 2:30 p.m. for a person shot, police said. When they arrived, they first were told about a man who had fallen from high in the building. The man, who was not publicly identified, did not survive the fall.
Inside an apartment unit, officers found a woman with both stabbing and gunshot wounds, police said. She was considered critical when she was taken to the hospital.
Channel 2 Action News reported that the woman was found on the 19th floor, the same floor from where the man fell.
Homicide investigators were called to the scene, police said, but no further details have been released.
