A 63-year-old man was shot several times late Saturday on Moreland Avenue in southeast Atlanta and taken by ambulance to a hospital in stable condition, police said.
Atlanta police said he appeared to be an uninvolved bystander, not one of the people in the fight. Officers were called around 11:15 p.m. to 381 Moreland Ave., Atlanta News First reported.
Police believe 46-year-old Alston Mitchell got into a fight with a security guard and that the confrontation escalated into the shooting. A preliminary investigation described a verbal and physical altercation, WSB-TV reported. The guard was not hurt.
Mitchell ran from the scene, police said, then returned and turned himself in. He faces two counts of aggravated assault and one count of criminal damage to property.
