Woman Shot in Face at CNN Headquarters

UPDATE: One of the shooting victims was pronounced dead on arrival at Grady Hospital, another is in extremely critical condition.

The CNN Center in Atlanta, Ga. was evacuated moments ago after a male gunman allegedly shot a woman in the face in a street-level lobby area, at approximately 1:30 PM EDT.

According to CNN, a witness saw the suspect dragging a woman by the hair minutes before the shooting.

A CNN producer says he witnessed the man shoot the woman twice in the atrium of the building, near the arena where the NCAA final game was played last night.

The suspect was then shot by a Turner Security officer and is currently being held at gunpoint by CNN Security and Atlanta Police. He is being treated by paramedics at the scene.

Police are saying this was a domestic altercation which led to gunshots. The woman and suspect are believed to be in critical condition, per CNN.

The shooting occured near the Omni Hotel, attached to the CNN Center.

31. #38 - That wasn't judging at all. Number 29 was just stating facts. Touch a truth nerve?

32. Thanks #36, but I still would like the not-so politically correct answer.

Again, can someone please print what was said by the original #1 posting about Anderson Cooper before it was removed. Just the facts please, no commentary.

33. What happened to letting God do the judging on these moral issues? (as to whether she cheated or not)

34. So if a man cheats the woman should be able to kill the man? Are ya'll taking Anna's methadone? Your saying killing is okay if someone cheats on you. I'm appauld by you idiots! A woman has been killed and you come on here and say it's okay for someone to die if they cheat!

Before marriage and after marriage.

41. #46 is not telling the truth. The National Bureau of Crime Statistics reports many thousands of cases per year of an innocent defending himself with a weapon. Any crime reporter would know that.

43. I understand and respect your beliefs. However, I simply want my right to bear arms. I think a lot of these "unneccessary crimes" could be avoided with the eye for an eye term......if you kill someone, you should be killed, if you steal, chop your hand off. I KNOW this would deter the next generation coming up from feeling like it's "okay to commit crime because all you have to do, is do the time". If there were harsher punishments, a lot of things that are part of our news everyday would dissapate. Too many radicals out there for "human rights" and not enough for the "victims rights". That's my stand on it.

44. The woman is dead, her killer in critical condition. May he die to save Fulton county a first degree murder trial, they are broke and all this guy would get is life.

45. No, I am not single, I am married. This is my second marriage. My first husband cheated on me, his "girlfriend" had three abortions while we were married and she was having his 4th child before my divorce was finalized. But that isn't my problem, it's his. It's on him, between him and God.
