ATLANTA — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called to assist after an officer-involved shooting near the Georgia Tech campus Sunday afternoon.
The GBI said the shooting involved a Georgia State Patrol officer.
Multiple local law enforcement agencies were at the scene Sunday evening.
We’re working to learn more details on this developing story, for Channel 2 Action News at 6 p.m.
Georgia Tech police said the incident happened in the area of 10th and State Street. Students who live in the Home Park area were asked to stay inside.
Police said minutes later that there is no longer a threat, but that State Street is closed.
It’s unclear if any officers have been injured in the shooting.
Students told Channel 2 Action News that police were stringing up crime scene tape near the Papa John’s Pizza.
This is the second officer-involved shooting Sunday. Early Sunday morning, an Atlanta police officer shot a man that police say was hitting cars with a metal pipe.
“This man was hitting cars and actually struck another individual before the officer got involved,” Hampton said. “The officer deployed his taser which had a negative effect. The officer transitioned to his service weapon which he discharged multiple times. The perpetrator is down at Grady in surgery.”
