Witness To Shooting Near Greyhound Station Shot, Killed

ATLANTA, GA — A woman was shot and killed at the Greyhound station in downtown Atlanta early Friday, just hours after she witnessed a shooting at a convenience store across the street.

Atlanta Police say the 54-year-old woman was shot at about 3:50 a.m. in the parking lot of the bus station, in the 200 block of Forsyth Street. That was actually the third shooting to happen in the area in the overnight hours.

Investigators were still on the scene of a shooting about a block away that involved a police officer when they heard shots at the Quick Pick convenience store, across the street from the Greyhound station. A woman — not the one shot at Greyhound — had been shot in the leg and ran outside looking for help, police said.

The 54-year-old woman was in the convenience store at the time and was interviewed by police. About 40 minutes later, after officers had returned to the scene of the first shooting, they again heard shots, this time in the Greyhound parking lot.

They responded and chased a man believed to be the shooter, but weren't able to catch him. The woman appeared to have been shot several times and was dead at the scene, police spokeswoman Officer Lisa Bender said.

The woman shot at the Quick Pick was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. Investigators believe the second shooting is related to the first, Bender said.

The shootings Friday morning come just three days after three other people were shot at the convenience store. Police say Tremayne Mosely, 33, went into the store and shot and injured three people because his windshield was damaged.

Police later captured Mosely near the state capitol building.

And, last month, police shot a man at the Greyhound station who had reportedly been behaving erratically and harassing patrons. William Savalas Davis, 38, fought with an off duty Georgia State Police officer who was working as security at the bus station and was pepper-sprayed before being shot once.
