ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities say a gunman shot three people at a food court in downtown Atlanta before then getting shot by a police officer. Police say all four people who were shot Tuesday afternoon at the Peachtree Center food court are expected to survive, including the suspect. During a news conference, Mayor Andre Dickens praised the responding officer who wounded the gunman. He said things could have been much worse. Peachtree Center is a complex of office towers and an underground mall just blocks from several hotels that are popular venues for Atlanta’s busy convention business.
