EAST POINT, Ga. - Authorities are investigating a shooting at a MARTA station in the Atlanta area that left a man dead.
Officials say the man was shot and killed Wednesday night at the East Point train station.
Lyle Harris, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, says train service was interrupted and buses were used to transport passengers between stations.
MARTA Assistant Police Chief Joseph Dorsey says there hasn't been an incident this serious at a MARTA station in four years.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office identified the victim as 19-year-old Anthony Beavers of Jonesboro.
If MARTA allowed concealed permit holders to carry this might not have happened if the perpetrator had thought someone might have a weapon.
How on earth do you know that, ms? For all you know, he did have a weapon. Sheesh.
Because whether you agree or not southern, it is news. AC is a news source and often reports articles from the associated press.
