Man Killed in Southwest Atlanta Apartment Complex
A man and his fiancée were assaulted by a gunman as they returned to the Hidden Hollow apartment complex in Southwest Atlanta Wednesday afternoon. They were returning from a trip to a nearby store. The gunman encountered them in the breezeway of the apartment and shot the man twice, once in the arm and once in the chest, after a discussion. Tragically, the man later died at the scene. There are a lot of facts that we do not know but any claim for injury would be under Georgia's premises liability laws. Because the incident occurred on property owned by another, the owner might be liable for damages .

The woman accompanying the man may also have claims against the apartment complex and its' managers for personal injuries .
