Police Investigating After 3 Found Shot

Three people were found suffering from gunshot wounds in southeast Atlanta on Friday afternoon after they were struck in a separate, unknown location, police said.

Officers responded to the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Browns Mill Road after getting reports of several people injured in a shooting, police said. At the scene, police found a 37-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds whose condition was considered critical. They also found a 28-year-old man who had been shot in the arm and a 19-year-old man with wounds to his torso and hip.

The two younger men were considered stable, and all three were taken to the hospital, police said.

Squad cars could be seen temporarily blocking the intersection in photos captured by NewsChopper 2. A red car at the scene was cordoned off with police tape, Channel 2 Action News reported.

No other details were released, including the identities of the people shot. No arrests have been reported, though police said the investigation remains active.

Traffic is moving normally through the area, according to data from the Georgia Department of Transportation.
