2 injured in drive-by shooting in SE Atlanta

Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that left two people injured Saturday morning in southeast Atlanta.

Officers responded to the shooting in the 3500 block of Jonesboro Road about 10:50 a.m. and discovered the two victims, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said in an emailed statement. One had a gunshot wound to the lower back and the other was shot in the leg, she said.
