An argument between two contract workers at Georgia Tech’s West Village Dining Hall ended with one of them firing a gun Wednesday night, according to university officials.
The shooting happened in an area of the dining hall restricted to staff. Georgia Tech said both individuals involved were employed by a third-party staffing agency and not directly by the university.
Police said no one was injured, and the Georgia Tech Police Department is investigating.
Officials said the contractor was no longer on campus, but did not say if they had been charged.
In a statement, Tech said the university is reviewing the incident and evaluating its relationship with the staffing agency.
“Georgia Tech remains firmly committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment for all members of our community. We take last night’s incident seriously and are actively addressing it.
An altercation occurred at the West Village Dining Hall, in an area only accessible to staff, involving two individuals employed by a third-party staffing agency.
