Shooting at Honduran consulate in Doraville, Georgia leaves 1 dead, 1 injured

DORAVILLE, Ga. — A shooting Monday at the Honduran consulate just outside Atlanta left one person dead and another injured, and a suspect was in custody, authorities said.

Doraville police responded to a report of shots fired around 2:30 p.m. and found two people who had been shot, city spokeswoman Emily Heenan said. One of the people was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to hospital for treatment, she said.

A suspect was taken into custody at the scene and taken to the Doraville police station for questioning, Heenan said. She did not provide any information about a possible motive for the shooting.

The shooting happened just outside the consulate’s main entrance, Heenan said. Police remained on scene to interview witnesses and collect evidence.

Heenan said she could not release more information about the victims or the suspected shooter because police were still contacting family members.
