And again, Atlanta police saying that
this active shooter situation happened
inside a building on West Peachtree St.
between 12th St. and 13th St.
As far as we know right now,
that person is not in custody ad
is still on the run. Right now.
We don't know if they are
still inside of that building,
but certainly police shutting dn
all the roads outside of that a.
11 Live reporter Cody Alcorn is
in this area of Midtown right nw
on the ground and on the phone.
Cody, what are you seeing right?
Well, I can tell you the Fulton County
SWAT team is parked right next to me.
These guys just got off the SWAT vehicle.
They have long rifles.
I'm on 15th at Peachtree Street
and now they are searching the
building 1230 on 15th Street.
They have multiple SWAT teams outside
the Symphony building here to my right.
But I can tell you the Fulton County SWAT
team just rolled up before I jumped on the
phone with you guys right here on 15th at.
Peachtree Street, They had about 9 armed
officers hanging off that SWAT truck.
They had officers inside that SWAT truck
and I'm watching now an officer in an
unmarked truck about to throw up a drone.
So apparently.
There is some belief this man could be
here in the area where I'm stan,
1230 15th St. at Peachtree.
There are people out here.
A lot of people still don't
know what's going on.
They've been asking me,
hey, what's going on?
Sources are telling me that thid
happen at the Northside Hospital there.
And again,
as you guys have been hearing as well,
multiple victims involved.
We do not know the status
of those individuals,
but obviously this man is on fot
is what sources are telling me.
And right now it appears an acte
search by the Fulton County SWAT team.
Our state troopers here now shog
up in front of me on 15th St.
and they are circling around ths
1230 address here on 15th Stree.
But I can tell you they are about to send
up a drone in this area as well Right now.
The picture you guys put out,
that's what they're showing
people here on the street.
There are construction workers
on Peachtree who actually I
can see have iPads out looking.
At this coverage because right w
people are still just learning
about what's going on because
right now at Peachtree,
there's not a lot of police presence.
But now if you come down 15th,
that's really where you're starg
to see the SWAT team show up
here along with state troopers.
Cody, that's really helpful information
because initially they were reay
focused between 12th and 13th.
So you can see that that has expanded
a few blocks down the street.
You're at 15th St.
Does it feel from what you're
seeing that they are kind of gog
building to building or is there some
sense that they're congregating?
Or specifically and strategicalt
the one that you're talking abo,
especially if they're sending a drone up,
it really appears
they are walking between 14th and 15th St.
here. Just from what I can see,
they're kind of just going builg
to building, so I don't know if
they really have a good grasp.
On where this guy is.
I mean, this is a very large ar,
as we all know that.
But with them coming over here where I'm
at on 15th and now sending this drone up,
there must be some indication he
could be out in this area. I me,
there's a lot of areas this man can hide.
There's these buildings,
there's parking decks here.
So again, we just don't know.
There's people here at a restaut
nearby watching from their balc,
but I just saw them come out
and they're locking the doors
here to this restaurant, so.
Right now it disappears.
They kind of have a perimeter.
I'm sure that's what is said
that I'm sure there's a lot more
police that I can't see because
I can tell you what I pulled up,
there were multiple unmarked vehicles and
they were actually state troopers that
I've never seen those type of vehicles.
They were just standard black vehicles
with regular tags so that I'm se
there's a lot of law enforcement down
here that we cannot digitally s.
I can tell you when I started
seeing the response I was on.
Peachtree Rd.
up in the bucket area and
multiple motorcycle police,
so multiple GSP rolling through
Buckhead down to this area.
So I'm sure they do have a large perimeter.
Now knowing this man is on foot
and has already what we're hearg
from sources shot multiple peop.
So Cody, you're confirming
state troopers Fulton County
SWAT, Atlanta police. They're on scene,
you're seeing them and we expect other
jurisdictions could come in to help as
well depending on what happens from here.
Yeah, 11 alives.
Cody Alcorn on the phone right .
Cody, first and foremost,
please prioritize your safety as well.
If you're saying that this suspect you're
hearing is on foot right now in the area,
I want to ask you, are you seeia
lot of the businesses in the ar?
Are they locked up?
Are people, you know,
away from the windows?
What are you seeing as far as
the surrounding businesses?
Because that would be my fear
if police are saying this
suspect is potentially on foot
right now, there's two people
walking around because again,
I don't think everybody underst.
Really, what's happening?
The scope of what this man is accused of have
been carrying out in the last hour or so.
So again, a lot of people still walking,
but I can tell you now here on 15th with
the SWAT team showing up and nou
have them here with their rifles drawn.
A lot of people have
cleared off of the 15th St.
area, but there are police right around
the 1200 building here at Peach,
and it looks like they're just g
building to building at this po.
I mentioned they're about
to throw this drone up,
but as far as people out and
about and businesses locking up,
I can't really see that from my
perspective right now because Im
just a feet away from the SWAT vehicle
where they jumped off of and std
walking around these buildings.
So I'm just trying to kind of pe
myself back a little ways and Im
walking up a little bit to see if I can
kind of see the direction they're going.
But they're still.
SWAT team members at that Fulton County
SWAT vehicle gearing up at this point.
All right, Cody, stay safe.
I know you're going to
be gathering information.
Obviously, stand by.
Let us know as soon as
you've got anything.
