2 injured in Clayton County double shooting

Clayton County police are investigating a double shooting that left two men injured at a shopping complex Thursday morning.

Police were called to the 600 block of Southside Parkway in Jonesboro shortly after 5 a.m. and found a man with a gunshot wound lying in the grass close to the road, Clayton police spokeswoman Officer Halekia Helm said. The area is anchored by a couple of hotels, a food market and a few businesses.

A second man, who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, ran into the lobby of one of the hotels after the shooting, Helm said.

Both men were taken to a hospital in serious condition. Their names were not released.

There are no known suspects and the motive for the shooting is unclear, Helm said.
