Two Shot Inside Midtown Atlanta Movie Theater

Atlanta police are seeking a suspect who opened fire in a crowded movie theater lobby Tuesday night, wounding a man and a woman attending a movie premiere.

The shooting occurred around 10 p.m. at Landmark’s Midtown Art Cinema, located at the Midtown Promenade, according to Atlanta Police Officer John Chafee. At the time, Midtown Art Cinema was screening the movie “Finesse,” a comedy starring several local actors.

Chafee said an off-duty officer working at the theater during the premiere heard gunshots during a question and answer session after the screening. A bullet reportedly grazed a woman in the leg and another struck a man in the buttocks. The victims were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition. An investigation is ongoing.
