Atlanta police said a person was found shot in downtown Atlanta early Tuesday morning.

Just after 1 a.m., Channel 2 Action News crews went to the 100 block of Piedmont Avenue Northeast across from the closed RaceTrac where multiple police were present.

Officers later confirmed to Channel 2 that an incident may have taken place at an apartment complex on Jackson Street and later transported to the area near the closed RaceTrac Gas Station on Piedmont Avenue.

The victim was not a Georgia State University student, according to officials.

Police said the victim was taken to a hospital and is stable.

Channel 2 Action News photographers showed officers walking around the white vehicle with an open door and damaged windows.

The RaceTrac decided to close its doors at the Piedmont location in February. The company CEO said it was due to “significant public safety issues.” The decision came right after a deadly shooting near the store.
