An Atlanta man was left wounded early Sunday morning after a drive-by shooter targeted him in what residents describe as a typically quiet northwest Atlanta neighborhood. The incident occurred at approximately 12:05 a.m., near Nash Road NW, where the 43-year-old was ambushed with gunfire while walking, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.
The victim was promptly taken to the hospital by ambulance, officials said, insisting he was "alert, conscious, and breathing" at the time. Despite the swift response, the authorities have not yet apprehended the suspect in the case, leaving community members on edge, Atlanta News First mentions.
Atlanta Police responded to the 1200 block of Nash Road in the English Park neighborhood after the shooting was reported. Investigators are piecing together the circumstances leading up to the shooting, trying to understand why the man, whom they have not named, was targeted in such a brutal, abrupt fashion.
