Police are still searching for multiple shooters after a slew of gun violence across Atlanta before the weekend was in full swing.

Four people were hospitalized and one killed Friday. Saturday, people who live nearby the gun violence said there is a sense of urgency for arrests.

“That’s just scary,” said Rocky Carroll.

Carroll works near The Dagny Midtown, a high-rise apartment complex. That is where police say a man caught another man breaking into his car in the garage, confronted him and the intruder shot him in the stomach. He survived. That was just after midnight Friday.

Three blocks away, two men robbed two other men at gunpoint, and hit one of them with the gun, sending him to the hospital.

“I think you have to keep your eyes out, and keep looking over your shoulder at night, especially in a city,” said Carroll.
