Three juvenile suspects are in custody after a boy was shot in the head in a Mableton neighborhood, according to Cobb County police.
Officers responded to the 1900 block of Padgett Drive just after 4 p.m. Monday and found the boy with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.
Police did not release his name or age. He is in critical condition at the hospital, officials said.
On Tuesday morning, police announced they had arrested three juvenile suspects in connection to the incident but did not say what charges they will face. Their names and ages were not released.
It appears the shooting was “an isolated incident,” police said, but they did not indicate if the victim knew the suspects. The investigation is ongoing, officials said.
