A shooting incident occurred in Atlanta's southeast side last Saturday, which resulted in a male victim sustaining injuries to his leg and buttocks. According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers were dispatched to the scene at 349 Decatur Street SE at around 2:30 PM after reports of a person shot were received.
The victim, found by the responding officers, was in a conscious and coherent state when transported to the hospital for medical treatment; the specific details of the victim's condition were not disclosed by the authorities but he was alert and breathing, signaling a non-life-threatening status as of the time he was found. The investigation into the circumstances of the shooting is still active with the aggravated assault unit spearheading the inquiries, and there appear to be no suspects or motives publicly identified at this stage.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward and help with the investigation.
