Fulton County police are investigating after a man was fatally shot inside a famed megachurch in College Park.

The shooting broke out around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at World Changers Church Inteational, led by televangelist Creflo Dollar. The victim was sent to South Fulton Hospital in critical condition but later died, according to police sources.

Police are looking for a black Subuaru in connection with the shooting.

Sources identified the victim as a member of the church's production crew, and said the church hosts a bible study in the chapel every Wednesday.

Nearby, Bethune Elementary and McNair Middle schools were locked down for about an hour during the shooting investigation. Fulton County Schools spokeswoman Susan Hale said there were no disruptions to the schools.
