A shooting at a Lawrenceville apartment complex on Thursday morning left at least two people injured.
Police went to the Oaks at New Hope apartments around 2:15 a.m. after multiple 9-1-1 calls about shots fired. That apartment complex is located just east of GA 124.
Officers arrived to find a vehicle behind building 5 damaged by gunfire, a pistol laying on the ground, and spent shell casings in the parking lot. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, only moments after police arrived on the scene, the local hospital reported that two individuals had arrived at the emergency room with injuries.
A man and a woman had gone to Northside Hospital with unknown injuries related to the shootings at the apartment complex. Detectives were sent to interview the victims. They said they were engaged in an “illegal transaction when a dispute occurred,” according to a police spokesperson. Their conditions are not currently known.
There has been no word on a suspect. The Lawrenceville Police Department is still investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective M. Russell at 770-670-5062 or by email at [email protected].
