Holy crapballs, I and a few other PCFers were on the Marta literally 1 week ago to the minute heading over to the Post. What the heck is going on down there?

I loved Atlanta (well Roswell I guess), the little I saw of it. Great people down there too. Just crazy we happened to be on that just last week.
I felt safe riding the MARTA - both night and day.

Unfortunately not really an indictment on Atlanta, but more of an overall statement on your chances of getting shot anywhere.
If I heard correctly, was on the "blue" line, which runs east-west, not the north-south you all would have been on, and the shooting was at the far west terminal, in some "fine" neighborhoodz. Also heard was a co-worker that shot the guy and the others, so not random act, unless you were one of the others, then it was pretty freaking random.
April 13 (UPI) -- One man was killed and three people injured in a "targeted, isolated" shooting Thursday on one of the largest rapid transit systems in the U.S.
Zachariah Hunnicutt, 38, was the victim of the attack on a MARTA train in Atlanta, Transit Police Chief Wanda Dunham said. It's not known what led to the shooting.
MARTA, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, is the nation's eight-largest by ridership, according to the American Public Transportation Association.
In response to the shooting, MARTA police will have an increased presence on the train.
The suspect, who tripped and fell trying to escape, was taken into custody, but his name has not been released.
Two men and a woman who were also shot are in stable condition, authorities said.
MARTA CEO Keith Parker commended first responders and expressed his condolences.
"My thoughts and prayers remain with the victim and everyone impacted in today's incident," he said.
