Atlanta Police Investigate Two Separate Shooting Incidents Resulting in Injuries

First Incident: Two Victims Found with Gunshot Wounds

In a troubling series of events on a Saturday evening, the police in Atlanta are currently investigating two shooting incidents that left several individuals injured. The first of the two incidents took place around 6 p.m. when officers were flagged down near the intersection of Memorial Drive SW and Pryor Street SW. Responding quickly, the officers learned about two victims who were in need of urgent medical attention.

Upon arrival at Whitehall Street SW and McDaniel Street SW, officers discovered a 25-year-old man and a 19-year-old man, both suffering from gunshot wounds to their ankles. They were promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment and, fortunately, both are expected to survive their injuries. Preliminary findings suggest that the shooting occurred at 689 Whitehall Street SW.
