A gunman opened fire at a medical building in midtown Atlanta on Wednesday, killing a 39-year-old woman and wounding four others before carjacking a vehicle to flee, police said on Wednesday.

The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Deion Patterson, remained at large several hours after a shooting at Northside Medical, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at an afternoon news conference.

Schierbaum said the gun used in the shooting had not been recovered and that Patterson should be considered "armed and dangerous."

All five victims slain or wounded in the attack were women, according to authorities. Schierbaum said it was too early in the investigation to determine if they had been deliberately targeted, or if they were patients or employees. The gunman arrived at the medical centre with his mother, the chief said, but she was not injured.
