A shooting in the parking lot of Atlanta’s Plaza Theatre and shopping center left a woman injured Monday afternoon, according to police.

Officers got the call about a person shot just after 2:40 p.m. and rushed to the plaza at 1047 Ponce de Leon Avenue, a department spokesperson said. There, they found the female victim, who was described as being alert.

She was taken to a hospital, while a male suspect was detained at the scene. Police said the shooting occurred after the victim and suspect were involved in a verbal dispute.

It’s unclear if the man and woman knew each other prior to the incident.

The investigation is ongoing.
