Thank you for joining us for Fox 5 News at six. I'm Eric Perry. We begin in
Gwinnett County. A man is dead and two others are injured. The result of an
early morning shooting this at an apartment complex. Neighbors say they
were shocked to wake up to gunshots and then they heard police sirens. Fox five
series report. That's the latest.
We are here on Laurel Crossing in Buford and we're told that one man was
shot here behind me right outside of this apartment complex. We're told
another victim was found back here in this parking garage. Now police say
they got a call this morning at around 6 30 of shots fired. I spoke to several
neighbors who told us that they woke up to those gunshots. They tell us that
this is something very unusual for the area. It's normally quiet and family
friendly. Now there are a ton of different restaurants and businesses
that surround this apartment complex. Gwinnett County police say one man is
dead and two others are injured at this moment. It doesn't appear to be
any major concerns to the general public. It does appear to be an
isolated incident. What we do say is encourage the public. If you have any
information, please call the tech to 7705135300. Now this is still an active
investigation. Police have not yet released any information about a
suspect or suspects will of course keep you updated as we learn more coming up

so are tens of thousands of visitors all pouring right here into Atlanta
and with over 50 major events taking over the city. That includes Dragon
Con, Atlanta Black Pride and Big College matchup games. The city is
bracing for those massive crowds. Atlanta Police and Mayor Andre Dickens
outlining an all hands on deck safety plan Friday as they will deploy
mounted patrols, all terrain vehicles and increase officers and popular
entertainment districts, parks, neighborhoods, all to keep you safe.
You'll see police presence in our entertainment districts, our
neighborhoods, our parks. Um, and so we will be out there. We will be present.
We want you to come and talk with the officers, engage with officers. But you
will know that the Atlanta Police Department will be there to protect you
to ensure that Atlanta is safe all weekend long. Atlanta Police search
everyone in crowds to stay alert and vigilant and to speak up if you see
anything suspicious. And speaking of crowds, one of the biggest this weekend
Peachtree Street as it was packed for the annual Dragon Con parade. And while
the cosplay was cool, the Atlanta heat, nothing but the name of thousands
turned out to catch this spectacle as they marched in full heavy armor, full
facial paint, all the things that the perfect costume needs and heat
advisory across the metro veteran cosplayers say surviving the route
comes down to one critical mission.
Stay hydrated. That's it. That's the main thing. I think I'm pretty sure we
saw three or four different ambulances yesterday in the work thursday in the
pickup line. But yeah, hydration, that's the trick to combat the sweltering
temps. Organizers have added extra medical attention and water stations to
protect the thousands of people out there. Dragon Con runs through Labor
Day.
