A gunman tried to enter the consulate with a weapon, and then opened fire outside the entrance to the building, officials said.

A growing memorial outside the Honduran Consulate Office in DeKalb County honors the sacrifice of Jesus Loera, a security guard who was shot and killed while protecting people from a gunman trying to enter the building.

A man shot and killed a security guard at the Honduran consulate near Atlanta who asked the man to turn over his gun before entering the building.

A shooting Monday at the Honduran consulate just outside Atlanta left one person dead and another injured, and a suspect was in custody, authorities said.
