ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Atlanta Police responded to an armed person at the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown.

Police said they responded to a call about an “insane person.” They did not say who the person at the center of the call was or what led to the call to respond to the hotel. A SWAT team also responded to the scene.

“Out of an abundance of caution, units have established a security perimeter to safely investigate the matter,” a police statement said.
