ATLANTA (AP) — One man is dead and 10 other people were taken to a hospital after a shooting in Atlanta early Monday, police said.
Atlanta Police Capt. Jeff Childers said officers responded to Edgewood Avenue in a popular nightlife area in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood around 1:30 a.m. Monday and found multiple people shot, news outlets reported.
One person, a 27-year-old, died on the scene and the other 10 victims, who range in age from 18 to 29, were taken to a hospital, where they were all believed to be in stable condition, Childers said. One person was in surgery early Monday.
It was believed that the shooter or shooters were on foot, Childers said, adding that it’s clear that a lot of people were shooting, since there were several shell casings at the scene. Investigators were reviewing security cameras and witness statements and following up with victims, he said.
