DEACTUR, GA — Following a shooting in the Decatur Library on Monday, the DeKalb County Library system is planning to reopen on February 9.

Once the library is reopened, there will be an increased police presence, and the library will be working closely with Decatur Police going forward in the area.

DeKalb County police are also planning to work with the county’s public library system to conduct a security assessment of the Decatur branch. They will be reviewing the layout and safety protocols of the building.

The library was already planning to receive an update on security cameras from $1.9 million SPLOST funding that was approved in December.

The suspect of the shooting, 44-year-old Medicus Brown was taken into custody Thursday and booked into the DeKalb County Jail after he turned himself in to authorities.

Brown is charged with aggravated assault with intent to murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The shooting happened Monday inside the Decatur Library. Officers say a man was found shot inside the building and taken to the hospital.

The victim remains in critical condition.
