A handgun was produced during an argument between a boyfriend and girlfriend at an apartment.

ATLANTA — Saturday morning, officers in Atlanta responded to an address in the 700 block of Memorial Drive, S.E., after reports of a domestic dispute.

According to Atlanta Police Investigator James White III, when officers arrived at about 8:47 a.m., a female told officers that her ex-boyfriend came to the apartment to retrieve his belongings.

While there, White said, an argument ensued. During the argument, a handgun was produced.

During the argument, a round was discharged from the gun and the boyfriend fled from the apartment.
