Atlanta police arrested an armed suspect last month after officers said he opened fire on vehicles outside a northwest Atlanta nightclub. The tense encounter was captured on body camera video.
According to APD, the incident happened around 3:23 a.m. on Jan. 17 near 1271 Marietta Blvd NW. An officer was conducting a routine traffic stop when he suddenly heard multiple gunshots nearby.
As the officer investigated, he was flagged down by a security guard from Vibe Night Club, which was located at the same address. The guard told police they had just disarmed a man who had been shooting at vehicles in the parking area. Another security guard was already trying to hold the suspect until police arrived.
