The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported earlier

Around 11:30 a.m. Friday, another suspicious package — the second of the morning — was reported at the Georgia 400 Toll Plaza. State Department of Transportation spokeswoman Chata Spikes said all southbound lanes of the tollway remained shut down at 11:45.

According to Chris Monroe (@Atlanta_Traffic) on Twitter, just the southbound side of Ga 400 is currently shut down, bu all MARTA trains have stopped "between Medical Center and Buckhead."

Sandy Springs Police Department says that the incident is currently being handled by Atlanta Police near the toll plaza.
