Editor’s Note: One year ago in Buckhead

Just hours after Atlanta police were called to Lenox Square Mall in response to a shots fired call that may have arisen due to a dispute, officers were back at the mall breaking up another dispute a year ago this week.

According to WSB-TV, people wanting to buy Apple’s newest iPhone were lining up outside the mall on the morning of Sept. 19, 2014 when a scuffle broke out regarding peoples’ places in the line. The mall did not open until 6 a.m. that day, so the line was forming just off mall property.
