 ATLANTA — A man lost his life following a shooting incident on Thursday evening at Greenbriar Mall, which resulted in a significant response from law enforcement and an active investigation by the Atlanta Police Department.

Authorities were summoned to the shopping center in southwest Atlanta, situated close to Interstate 285, after receiving reports of shots being fired. Upon arrival, officers found a man with several gunshot wounds. Emergency services rapidly transported him to a local hospital in critical condition; however, officials later confirmed his death due to his injuries.
