Police: Three Men Shot, All Awake and Breathing
Per the Atlanta Police Department, officers were called to 421 Edgewood Ave. SE shortly after 2 a.m. on Jan. 17. They found three men wounded: a 30 year old with a possible gunshot wound to his right foot, a 27 year old with an apparent wound to his left arm, and a 21 year old with injuries to his left shoulder and ankle. All three were alert and taken to a local hospital for treatment. Investigators with APD's Major Crimes Response Team say the case is still active as they work to piece together how the street fight turned into a shooting.
