Channel 2 is working to find out what led up to the argument that ended with gunfire.
A spokesperson for Atlanta police said the department holds its members to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and conduct both on and off duty.
That includes the four police recruits who were hanging out at U Bar in East Point over the weekend.
A spokesperson said they fired the recruits for not meeting department standards, and now there’s an internal investigation into what happened.
“The Atlanta Police Department has learned that the recruits were asked to leave the business and became involved in a dispute with a member of the establishment’s security team, during which one recruit discharged a firearm,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
Channel 2 is working to learn more about the recruits. APD has not released their names.
APD did confirm that the recruits had not yet completed their training to become officers.
