Woman's Alleged Stalker Fatally Shot
Gunfire Startled Apartment Residents
A man was fatally shot early Friday at a Sandy Springs apartment complex, apparently during a dispute over a woman by a former boyfriend and her current boyfriend.
The 35-year-old man, whose identity was pending, was pronounced dead at the scene following the shooting at the Stratford Apartments, located in the 5400 block of Glendridge Drive.
Police were called to the complex shortly after midnight. Residents reported hearing at least two rounds of gunfire at the apartments, which has a gated entrance.
Police said the ex-boyfriend of the woman managed to get into the complex, where he confronted the woman and her new boyfriend. Police said an argument ensued before the current boyfriend pulled out a weapon and shot the man in the head.
Gary Syblis, a spokesman for Fulton police, said it appears that the ex-boyfriend had been stalking his former girlfriend.
The 28-year-old man who shot the other man said the shooting was in self defense. It was not immediately clear if the man would be charged in the shooting.
