One person has died and two others were rushed to hospital with injuries after a woman engaged in a series of shooting on the streets of Atlanta - before fleeing the scene and going on the run. 

Police shut down surrounding roads as they hunted for the shooter in the city's Midtown neighborhood, before arresting her at a nearby airport. 

Cops released an image of the suspected gunwoman in a bid to track her down after she fired shots at two crowded locations in the city's center at around 2 pm. 

She has since been arrested and remains in custody. 

The attack saw the woman, who has yet to be identified but was photographed by a passerby as she was being arrested, tracked down by lawmen to a local airport roughly two hours after the first shots were reported. 

The shootings in the city's Colony Square - a popular plaza housing office buildings and hotels near the city's center - left one person dead and two others seriously injured.

The first assault saw the woman storm a condominium building at 1280 West Peachtree Street NW at roughly 1:45 pm, where she produced a firearm and let off several shots inside the residence's management office.

That shooting left one person dead, and another injured.

The surviving victims was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital.

But the shooting spree did not end there, with another person also shot and rushed to the hospital moments later just a few blocks away, at 1100 Peachtree Street, a high-rise office building.

The last shot was reportedly fired around 2:15 pm - after which, the perpetrator, whom police say was responsible for both of the attacks, seemed to vanish into thin air.

Residents were subsequently advised to stay off the streets near the sites of the shootings, specifically between 12th Street and Peachtree Street NE and 15th Street and West Peachtree Street NW, as officers engaged in an extensive manhunt for the suspect.
