A person was shot Sunday in northwest Atlanta, turning a stretch of Mango Circle NW into an active crime scene as police and medics rushed in.
The shooting happened in the 2800 block of Mango Circle NW, where responding officers found the victim and rendered aid on the spot, according to Atlanta police. Investigators said it was too early to say how the victim was doing as they continued working the scene.
As reported by Atlanta News First, officers provided on-scene assistance but offered no immediate update on the victim’s condition. The outlet described the case as a developing situation with investigators still on the ground.
Another Violent Jolt on the Northwest Side
The Mango Circle shooting adds to a run of recent gun violence on the northwest side of the city, including a June 4 incident that left a teenager wounded on teen shot on Mayson Turner Road, as reported by Hoodline. In that case, authorities released surveillance stills and appealed to Crime Stoppers for tips, underscoring ongoing safety concerns in the area.
We will update this report as police release more details.
