Police were serving an arrest warrant at a southwest Atlanta home Friday morning when a man with a shotgun began firing at a neighboring apartment complex, authorities said.
Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department’s fugitive unit saw the man go into a building on Arthur Langford Jr. Place, and alerted the officers who responded to the shooting shortly after 10 a.m.
No one was injured by the gunfire. It was unclear why the man was shooting, or what was his intended target.
“Officers established a perimeter around the location,” police said in a statement. “A short time later, the suspect exited the apartment and surrendered to police. He was taken into custody without further incident.”
Roderick Carter, 30, was arrested on a charge of reckless conduct and taken to the Fulton County Jail. After his arrest, officers executed a search warrant at the apartment he was occupying and found a semiautomatic shotgun, a rifle and a handgun, according to police.
All three weapons were placed into police evidence.
