A Buckhead apartment building was evacuated late Wednesday following a domestic dispute that escalated into a fatal incident at the Cortland Peachtree Battle apartments on Peachtree Road. Atlanta police responded to reports of gunfire and found a man dead in a hallway after he allegedly entered the building during an evacuation and confronted his estranged wife, who was present with two family members. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the man's death, which was not caused by gunfire, and have not disclosed whether charges will be filed.
