The shooting is one of a string of fatal and non-fatal apartment incidents around the city Tuesday morning.

Around 1 a.m., Atlanta police said they found a man with a stab wound to the chest at the Santafe Villa on Metropolitan Parkway. Police said the fatal stabbing may have happened after an argument with a neighbor. The neighbor was detained for questioning, authorities said.

Less than an hour later, police said a man fatally shot himself after shooting a woman at the Glen Iris Lofts located just a block away from Ponce City Market. The woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
