Atlanta police officers rushed to the vicinity of 234 Memorial Dr. SW yesterday morning following reports of a shooting, an incident that left a 59-year-old man with a gunshot wound. According to Atlanta Police Department's news release, the call came in at approximately 10:05 a.m., and upon their arrival at the scene, authorities found the victim who was conscious and breathing, subsequently dispatching him to the hospital.
While the initial facts are being clarified, preliminary inquiries suggest a hint of nefarious intent: the incident appears to have been the result of a robbery gone violent, though this remains a developing theory as investigations continue.
The Aggravated Assault Unit is examining the case, attempting to piece together the crux of the affray. No arrests have been reported as the investigation progresses, its scope widening in search of answers.
