Victims in deadly Atlanta shooting were targeted, police say

ATLANTA — A woman suspected in a triple shooting that left two people dead and one injured in the heart of Midtown Atlanta was arrested Monday afternoon at the Atlanta airport.

The woman, who was not identified, was taken into custody a little more than two hours after shots were first fired at the 1280 West condominium building on West Peachtree Street, not far from Colony Square, Atlanta police said.

During a news conference after the arrest, police said the shooting was “not random” and the victims were specifically targeted. Officials did not say what motive led the suspect to shoot three people, but WSB-TV reported that the woman lived in the building. It remained locked down at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, the news station reported.
