ATLANTA — Two people are in custody and one man is at-large in a robbery-shooting that occurred near a Greyhound bus station early Wednesday.

Atlanta police heard multiple gunshots around 5:45 a.m. near the 200 block of Peachtree Street, where they found a man going into a brown backpack in the restroom, according to a news release from the Atlanta Police Department.

The man told police he had been hit in the back of the head and that his bag was taken, according to police. Authorities were then notified that a gun had been left behind the restroom.

Police said the man was robbed, and that the robbery suspect was shot by an unknown person. Afterwards, the robbery suspect dropped the stolen backpack, which was recovered by the unknown shooter and returned to the victim.
