Two people were shot near an apartment complex in southwest Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a police investigation in the city’s Oakland City neighbourhood.
Atlanta police said officers were called to the area around 1165 Oakland Lane SW, where the Oakland City West-End Apartments are located. The incident was reported in the 1100 block of Oakland Lane.
Investigators remained at the scene gathering evidence and trying to establish what led to the gunfire. Officers cordoned off part of the street with crime-scene tape, while evidence was collected near a discarded electric scooter.
The identities, ages and medical conditions of the two victims have not been released. Police have also not disclosed whether any suspects have been identified or what may have preceded the shooting.
Authorities said there was no indication the incident was connected to another shooting under investigation at 320 Fairburn Road. The investigation remains ongoing.
