Here are the top three stories today in Buckhead:
- A man has been arrested in a shooting investigation that shut down Peachtree Road in Buckhead. Early Wednesday morning, an off-duty officer saw a man exit his sports car and fire shots at a white SUV, which fled the scene. The suspect, whose name was not released at the time of publication, was arrested on charges of reckless conduct and traffic violations later that evening.

- Atlanta's critically-acclaimed 8ARM is set to close on Oct. 8 after the property was sold to a Buckhead real estate developer. Cartel Properties recently paid out $3 million to buy out the site where the restaurant resides. According to Eater Atlanta, Cartel intends to redevelop the entire property, though the company's president declined to comment on specific plans for the 8ARM space. (Eater Atlanta)
