Gunfire erupted at an Atlanta park Saturday night, leaving a man dead and another in critical condition, according to authorities.
Atlanta police responded around 8:15 p.m. to Coan Park in the 1500 block of Woodbine Avenue after getting a call that two people had been shot.
The park is just north of Memorial Drive in the Kirkwood neighborhood.
When officers arrived, they found a man shot in the head and another suffering from several gunshot wounds, police said. Their names have not been released.
“The male who sustained an apparent gunshot wound to his head was pronounced deceased on scene by medical personnel, while the other male was transported to the hospital in critical condition,” police said.
There were no reports of any other people being shot during the incident, a police spokesperson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday.
A motive is unclear and no other information was provided by authorities about what led to the shooting. The AJC has requested the police report from the incident.
“At this time no further information has been released, as this is an open investigation for our homicide unit,” the spokesperson added.
