ATLANTA - One man is dead and three others are injured after police say an attempted car-break led to a gunfight in Downtown Atlanta.

According to investigators, a man came out of a soon-to-open Kings and Queens Lounge and noticed three men trying to get into his red Cadillac SUV, which was parked under the Downtown Connector overpass.

"The owner of the vehicle confronted the males and an exchange of gunfire happened," Atlanta Police Department Homicide Commander Lt. Andrew Smith said.

Police say the owner of the vehicle and the three men were all shot in the gunfight.

One of the men died at the scene. Paramedics rushed the survivors down the street to Grady Memorial Hospital. They are all expected to survive their injuries.

Detectives say they know the SUV owner was armed but are working to determine how many of the alleged car thieves fired shots.

"We are reviewing video footage. We're not exactly sure who had a gun," Smith said.

Officials have not released the names of anyone involved or what charges any of the survivors may face.

If you have any information about that shooting, call the Atlanta Police Department.

They can’t even say if the victim survived?

Clearly the car owner didn’t embrace DEI enough.

Grady is the place to be for trauma care in the ATL area. The Army sends folks up from Fort Moore (Benning) to train at Grady because they know they’ll get plenty of applicable experience.

The inference was the victim was one of the three survivors.

11 Alive article stated

“Officers have also told us that the person killed was one of the suspects trying to break into the car.”

Considering Atlanta is 75-80% black, it’s a pretty safe bet you know what they all look like.

Our defense of life and property laws need to be reformed nationally.

Citizens MUST have their right recognized to use whatever force is necessary to protect their property when threatened, as well as their lives.

Further.....self defense needs tilted 100% to the victim...drop the “mutual combat” and “reasonable force” BS...if anyone shoves, spits, kicks, hits, etc....throws ANYTHING at/on someone....EVERYTHING that follows is “on them”....UNLESS they surrender unconditionally and beg mercy.

Laws of Nature and Nature’s God are a bitch...but required for an ordered society.

No? Then why are bank, Brinks and museum guards armed?

But what do I know and I do not feel strongly about it.

Well we know the car owner had a gun, the car was not stolen and it appears the owner is still alive. Chalk one up for the good guys.

#3: "A frank exchange of views amongst our, ah, duskier brethren."

It's always a good idea to air our grievances like these gents did, and not to let the complaints fester under the surface.

What you suggest is completely counter to the views of the left. They view all property as the government’s, unless it is their own of course. They view the taking of other peoples’ property as justice in action because of inherent inequities in society, like systemic racism and white supremacy. They will resist any strengthening of individual property rights with extreme fervor and a full one third to one half of all people are on that side. If they are in the minority then they will cheat to get their way, and they view cheating as necessary and justified the same way as they view individual property rights as harmful.
