Two people were arrested Friday night in connection with a shooting that left a teenager injured in downtown Atlanta.

Officers responded to the top of a parking garage at 95 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW around 7:15 p.m. regarding a person shot. Upon arrival, police located a 17-year-old boy suffering from a gunshot wound to the thigh. He was transported to a local hospital and is expected to survive.

A FOX 5 crew at the scene observed a heavy police presence just a couple blocks away at the Fulton County Courthouse. Officers were seen surrounding what appeared to be an air vent.

Shortly after, police removed two men from the vent and took them into custody.

Atlanta police confirmed that the suspects were apprehended while hiding near the shooting scene, though they did not officially confirm the men were inside an air vent.
