Officers also found the bodies of Hana Yusuf, 26, and Luna Tesfaye, 24, who were Ibrahim's daughters-in-law, Atlanta police spokesman Eric Schwartz said. Another victim, Mohammad Ibrahim, 28, the alleged gunman's son and Tesfaye's husband, died at Grady Memorial Hospital.</p><p>Three-year-old Amir Abdulhakim, the alleged shooter's grandson, and the son of Hana Yusuf and Yusef Ibrahim, was upgraded from critical to stable condition Monday afternoon at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Yusef Ibrahim, 27, another son, was in stable condition at Grady, police said.</p><p>Police said they were interviewing Ibrahim's daughter, 26, who was in the house during the shooting but was unharmed, and Abdulaziz Ibrahim's wife, who had left home shortly before the 7 a.m. shootings.</p><p>Before then, police had not received calls about family violence at the house, police said.</p><p>Friends and neighbors said the victims were part of an extended Ethiopian family who had immigrated to Atlanta about ten years ago.

She said Abdulaziz Ibrahim was a retired manufacturing worker who occasionally gave the neighborhood children small toys and school supplies.</p><p>"We think he was sick, he must have been," she said between sobs. "He was so sweet, he was so sweet he wouldn't hurt anybody."</p><p>Weiters said she often saw him playing with his grandson in the yard. She said she believed Ibrahim lived in the home with his wife, three children, two nieces and two grandchildren.</p>
