**Breaking News: MARTA Officers Shot, Gunman Still at Large in Downtown Atlanta**

In a shocking turn of events, two MARTA police officers were shot late last night at the Five Points station in downtown Atlanta, after confronting a man urinating on the platform. The incident unfolded around 11:30 PM, escalating rapidly as the suspect opened fire on the officers, injuring one critically.

The male officer was struck in the arm and is currently in the ICU at Grady Memorial Hospital. A female officer, who was grazed in the knee, also reported hearing loss from the close-range gunfire. In a courageous response, she returned fire, but the assailant managed to flee the scene, jumping onto a train and evading capture.

Authorities have identified the suspect and are mobilizing a fugitive task force to track him down. They discovered the weapon he discarded while attempting to escape, which had been thrown onto the roof of the train station. MARTA train services were diverted, causing significant delays for passengers as the situation unfolded.

Witnesses reported chaos as train traffic was halted, with passengers directed to exit at alternate stations. One rider described the confusion, stating that they were simply told to “get off” without further explanation.

As the search for the gunman continues, the community remains on high alert. The officers involved are relatively new to the force, and their conditions are being closely monitored. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
