Woman drives to SW Atlanta gas station after online meetup ends in shooting

A woman drove into a southwest Atlanta gas station looking for help after a shooting early Tuesday, police said.

She arrived about 6 a.m. in the parking lot of a BP station at the corner of Cascade and Beecher roads with gunshot wounds to the chest and leg, officers at the scene told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She was taken to a hospital and was said to be stable.

“The victim told officers that she met a male online and agreed to meet with him at another location,” an Atlanta police spokesperson said in a news release. “At the meeting, a dispute arose between the pair which resulted in the victim being shot.”

Investigators cordoned off the parking lot while they collected evidence from the woman’s Nissan Maxima.

The victim arrived at the BP in a Nissan Maxima. Investigators do not know where the woman was shot.

“Aggravated assault unit detectives are beginning their investigation and are working to determine the exact location where the incident occurred,” the spokesperson said.

No information about a suspect was released.
