Atlanta police and SWAT have apprehended a barricaded suspect at the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown where multiple shots were fired Tuesday afternoon. Officials identified the suspect as 70-year-old J. Stevens Berger who they said was staying in the residential section of the Four Seasons, not the short-term units within the hotel. They said he fired at least three different types of guns and may have been armed with more weapons, including knives. A safety perimeter was quickly established, shutting down surrounding streets. FOX 5 Atlanta spoke to witnesses who said the incident felt like something out of the video game "Grand Theft Auto." "We heard ten shots. We walked outside, got everything on camera – the man throwing couches, shooting – Very chaotic, very random. This is Atlanta. This is not a real place," said Khalil Hagans. Another witness said police prevented them from moving anywhere due to the active shooter. PLEASE FOLLOW MY CHANNEL-THANK YOU!
