After AMC closed the MJ another company opened it briefly and had some troubles like this, I don’t recall shooting but fights, before it closed. The last time I was in ATL with some time to kill I visited the Delta museum and went out to Camp Creek to get dinner before my flight. I was at the Ruby Tuesday and there was a shooting at another restaurant in that area. I finished my meal and went to the airport without delay. When Camp Creek first opened I would fly in for the holidays and shop there for my kids, not anymore, just too much foolishness in the area. I never felt like Atlanta paid much attention to the SW side of town.

News was quoting East Point PD. I didn’t realize that East Point extended this far west and outside of 285 until now. Maybe they annexed it to get the tax money. (Also, all of Fulton County is now incorporated with the city of South Fulton covering the old unincorporated areas that were left over.) I was not aware of this type of problem at MJ but it certainly sounds like a repeat of Old National. However by that time the shopping center and general area around Old National Highway was getting pretty run down. This Camp Creek development is still a popular destination with big box stores and retailers like Target and Home Depot. I’m sure those stores wish the theater had stayed closed.

Is this in East Point, Atlanta or unincorporated Fulton? Hard to believe the local cops can’t help, but then again isn’t this the same as the end of Magic at Greenbriar and Old National?

Local news outlets are reporting that three young teenagers were shot last night as they were among about 200 young people leaving the AMC theater. The police spokesman said that for the last six months there have been problems with hundreds of young people congregating in the shopping complex with nothing to do after they leave the theater. As he put it, “…first the fights break out, then the guns come out, then the shooting starts.”

Recently there was another shooting behind the Longhorn Steakhouse and then there was the incident I described in the previous comment. The spokesman also said that they were going to talk to AMC management about not admitting teenagers at night unless they were with a parent. Good luck with that.
