A man was shot in the chest and killed Saturday morning after opening fire on another man during an argument outside the Greyhound bus station in southwest Atlanta, authorities said.

The shooting occurred about 9:30 a.m. near the bus depot on Forsyth Street, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown told AJC.com.

According to police, an officer was patrolling the area when they heard gunfire. The man killed, identified as Kevin Hudson of Atlanta, was pronounced dead at the scene. It’s unclear what prompted the argument, but police said no charges have been filed against the man who killed Hudson.

According to an incident report, the shooting was captured on video and several witnesses said Hudson was the “aggressor” in the case. Authorities said he was “killed by the surviving victim when he threatened and shot at (him)."

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the fatal shooting is asked to call Atlanta police.
