The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Buckhead.
Hello there, Buckhead. I'm here in your inbox this morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town.
First, today's weather:
A stray afternoon t-storm. High: 82 Low: 71.
Here are the top three stories today in Buckhead:
- Chaka Zulu, a longtime Atlanta music exec with ties to Ludacris, was shot overnight in Buckhead. Officers reported the shooting resulted from an argument behind the strip center on Peachtree Road and that two others were also shot at the location. At this time, police have not determined any suspects, nor have there been reports on any of the victims' conditions. (11Alive.com WXIA)
