Atlanta police spokesman Eric Schwartz said the victim, whose name has not been released, was shot once and was in stable condition shortly after the incident.

About 2 a.m. Saturday, a man was shot inside Table 1280, a restaurant and tapas lounge in the 1200 block of Peachtree Street at the Woodruff Arts Center.

That victim was also shot once, and was in stable condition when he was transported to a local hospital, Schwartz said. His name has not been released.

Schwartz said the Atlantic Station incident began as a verbal altercation, and the second incident stemmed from a physical altercation.

"Both situations escalated and resulted in shootings," Schwartz said. "What the altercations started over, I'm not sure."

Police had made no arrests in either case, Schwartz said late Monday morning.
