MARTA rail service was disrupted at the Arts Center station Tuesday morning following a shooting.
The agency said officers with the MARTA Police Department responded around 7:15 a.m. to the station, located on Peachtree Street between 15th and 16th streets. Upon arrival, officers found a person who had been shot in the abdomen.
The victim was transported to a local hospital, though their current condition has not been released.
MARTA said that one person was detained in connection with the shooting.
The station was closed for a couple of hours. However, normal operations resumed around 9 a.m., according to MARTA.
Investigators have not yet released information regarding what led up to the shooting.
It’s also unclear if the person who was detained will face charges.
