Fulton County will delay all election night reporting until after 11:02 p.m. because a Sandy Springs polling place is staying open until that time after spending four hours shut down.

Police placed Ison Springs Elementary School in Sandy Springs on a “soft” lockdown earlier Tuesday because of reports of possible gunshots in the area. Voting was paused during that time.
