Robbery victims jump from balcony at Atlantic Station

Two people jumped from a second-story balcony at Atlantic Station Thursday night after a home invader fired gunshots in their direction, police said.

The incident began when the suspect followed a friend into an apartment about 7 p.m., said Curtis Davenport, an Atlanta police spokesman. The suspect was looking for someone with whom he had a previous dispute over money, Davenport said; that person was not there but there were two other people in the apartment.

The suspect made all three occupants sit on the couch. He fired a shot that went through the couch and into the wall. He then ordered the three victims upstairs, Davenport said.
