美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）在亚特兰大总部所在的楼区3日发生枪击事件，目前至少有2人受伤。

美国有线新闻网(CNN)位于亚特兰大的总部3日遭到枪手的袭击，一人被枪击后送往医院不治身亡。据悉，一名女子中枪，而枪手也被保安击中。两个人被送往医院，目前尚不明确死者是其中的哪一位。

目击者称，枪击事件发生在当地时间下午1时30分。持枪男子对着一名女子连开两枪后，也遭到保安人员的枪击。保安人员称，此名男子和女子在枪击发生前曾发生激烈的争吵。有人看到该男子撕扯女子的头发。有人认为，这可能是两人的感情纠纷。

据有线电视新闻网报道，有１男１女先是在大楼入口处附近发生争吵，后来男子拔出手枪朝女子开了几枪，闻讯赶到的大楼警卫开枪将男子击中。这对男女都被送进医院抢救，１人不治身亡，另１人伤势严重，目前尚未脱离危险。但警方没有说明死者是男是女，也没有公布两人身份，只是说女子怀有身孕。

据悉，事发地点距离有线电视新闻网网站工作室有９米远，事发后该工作室人员被立即疏散。有线电视新闻网的电视节目播出没有受到影响。目前案情正在调查当中。

CNN报导说，在枪击案发生后，靠近现场的CNN.com的办公室，立即疏散了所有工作人员。CNN的闭路电视录像显示，在这名开枪者被击倒后，警察用枪对准躺在地上的凶手。

案发后，CNN总部内部广播系统宣布，在总部一楼面对百年奥林匹克公园方向，“靠近自动升降机附近，发生一起可能造成人员伤亡的枪击案”。

27岁斯坦佛(Jas Stanford)当时正在拆卸为庆祝大学男篮四强赛而抬起的舞台，他回忆说：“我听见四五声开枪声，但我什么也没有看到，(枪响后)我就立即离开了那里。”

据悉，CNN总部还设有一家名叫Omni的酒店，总部内有一个巨大的大厅，还有一名食品区。CNN总部靠近Philips体育馆，是NBA亚特兰大老鹰队的总部。

当时正在CNN总部浏览的44岁的亚特兰大居民约翰逊(Trina Johnson)描述说，“我们当时突然听到一声巨响，还以为发生了爆炸，但没有看到枪手，当时所有人都开始逃走。”

CNN：One dead after CNN Center shooting

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A woman has died according to Atlanta's Grady Hospital following a shooting Tuesday at the CNN Center complex, in what Atlanta police called a "domestic situation."

The woman, who appeared to be pregnant, was shot and the gunman was then shot by a Cpt. Odell Adams, who joined Turner Security in 1996, according to a Turner spokesperson.

The man and the woman were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. The man is in in surgery, the hospital said.

A witness saw a man dragging a woman by the hair one level above where the shooting occurred. The suspect told him to get out of the way. The witness went to get a guard, and then saw the suspect apparently take the woman downstairs. The witness heard gunshots less than a minute later.

The incident occurred about 30 feet from the back door of the CNN.com newsroom, outside a second set of glass doors. Several CNN.com employees witnessed the shooting.

Brad Lendon, a writer for CNN.com, said he heard a loud bang, and then saw a woman on the ground next to a potted plant near a back entrance to the CNN.com newsroom. A man stood over her "and fired at least two shots into her," he said.

After the shots, Lendon said, the gunman "looked around, his head turning in my direction. I don't know if he saw me, but at that moment the gravity of what I'd witnessed hit me. I turned away and tried to find the safest way I could out."

CNN.com's Simit Shah said he heard a loud noise and saw two people in front of a doorway visible from the CNN.com newsroom. "At first they were moving in a manner that made me believe that they were running from something, but it then became clear that they were struggling," he said.

"They crashed into the a potted plant near the door, and then I heard the other shots in quick succession. At that point, it was clear to me that this was gunfire," he said.

CNN.com's John Helton had a direct view through the glass doors. "I saw him coming down the escalator pulling her along, around the corner, he ran into the plant and that's when they started struggling," he said.

"She seemed to be trying to wrestle free of him." Helton said the woman appeared to be shot at point-blank range. "He looked like he had the gun right on top of her head and shot her."

The CNN.com newsroom, near the Omni, was temporarily evacuated. Some workers had already scrambled out of the building seeking cover after hearing shots.

In a message to employees, Turner Broadcasting said the shooting took place at approximately 1:30 p.m. at an entrance near the Omni Hotel, which is part of CNN Center.
