An employee at an Atlanta medical facility, the site of Wednesdays mass shooting where at least one woman died and four others suffered injuries , told CNN that the terrifying event wasnt the first time her building has seen an active shooter situation.
Tyrisia Woods described feeling panic and said she heard multiple gunshots and reports of blood in the elevator on her floor before locking down her office.
Ive been working in this building for almost five years and this is the fourth active shooter that Ive encountered since Ive worked there, said Woods before nearly a second of silence.
Jesus. Its shocking to hear, Im sure, for people listening at home, replied CNNs Jim Sciutto. But listen, we cover them every day, Americans absorb news like this every day.
