One person has died and another has been shot in a parking lot across the street from Mt. Zion High School, police said. The two people shot were not students.

There was a graduation ceremony happening across the street at the Clayton County Performing Arts Center, Channel 2 Action News said. The shooting happened after the graduation concluded, and an arguement led to the shooting, police told Channel 2.

The shooter probably meets the profile of the other school shooters.

Maybe it’s just working girls fighting over who gets the corner next to the school.

What I have heard of Atlanta in recent years, sounds like the Amish are shooting it out again.

“The graduation was for the Perry Learning Center, an alternative school in Jonesboro, Channel 2 reported.”
