Atlanta Shooting: One Dead and Three Injured in Hospitalized Gunman Attack

“Three people were taken to hospital for treatment and a fourth died,” law enforcement said on Twitter, adding that the suspect was “at large”.

Police released footage of the man suspected of being the shooter, asking “anyone with information” to contact them.

“We think the suspect is armed and dangerous,” she said, warning that we should not try to “approach him”.

A large police force has been deployed around the area, according to images broadcast on American television, on which many ambulances are also visible.

It is a Northside Hospital building, according to local broadcaster WSB.

The United States pays a very heavy price for the spread of firearms in its territory and the ease with which Americans have access to them.

The country has more individual weapons than inhabitants: one in three adults owns at least one weapon and nearly one in two adults lives in a home where there is a weapon.

The consequence of this proliferation is the very high rate of firearm deaths in the United States, unmatched by that of other developed countries.
