ATLANTA – Police are investigating a shooting in southwest Atlanta.

Authorities say a person was shot in the back in the area of 872 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW just before 7:27 p.m. Tuesday.

Channel 2 Action News learned the victim ran into a Chick-fil-A restaurant across the street to ask for help.

We’re hearing from a witness about what he saw, for live reports on Channel 2 Action News This Morning.

The Chick-fil-A recently opened in January. We were there when city leaders camped out to bring awareness to the revitalization of the city’s west side.

We were told the victim is breathing and conscious.

So far, no one has been arrested.

Atlanta police are asking anyone who may have information regarding the shooting to call them.
