Police say there are a number of shooting victims, but the exact number and severity of injuries is not immediately known. Two local hospitals were told to prepare for a total of 22 victims.
Local reports say some people were evacuated, while others told to stay in offices and lock their doors.
The gunfire was reported about 3 p.m. in Security Center, an office building that houses a travel agency, a brokerage and other offices.
Dozens of police officers and Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents are swarming the building in Atlanta’s well-to-do Buckhead section.
Lauren Coinard, who was locked inside her office with three other women, told local station WSB-TV that police called to tell them to keep their doors locked. “I’m just scared and would like to get out of here,” she said.
Scott Belazi, who works in the office where the shooting took place, told WSB-TV that he saw a great quantity of blood in the office when police escorted him out as they evacuated the building.
“We saw blood. I tried to look the other way. I pass out when I see blood,” he said.
