Chaos erupted early yesterday morning when gunfire broke out in a parking lot on Cheshire Bridge Road NE, leaving two people wounded in an apparently random shooting. The Atlanta Police Department reported on their website that officers arrived at 2284 Cheshire Bridge Road NE around 4:15 AM to find a 33-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to her leg. First responders transported the victim, who was alert and conscious, to a local hospital for treatment.
A separate individual, a 34-year-old man, sustained several gunshot wounds to his right leg and managed to make it to a nearby hospital on his own. The male victim was walking through the parking lot to his vehicle when he was alleged by an unidentified suspect, who proceeded to shoot him several times before fleeing the scene. The man was alert and conscious when he arrived at the hospital, having sustained the injuries.
Investigators learned that the woman was struck by stray bullets as she stood near the front entrance of the building. The Major Crime Response Team was dispatched to the address to unravel the details of the violent incident. According to their preliminary findings, there seems to be no connection between the two victims, pointing to a disturbing act of violence that shook the early morning calm.
