DeKalb County police were investigating a shooting late Thursday morning at a Glenwood Road hotel that left a woman in the hospital.

The shooting happened around 10 a.m. at the Glen Royal Hotel in the 4400 block of Glenwood Road.

“It has been reported that two males were in an altercation over a gun,” DeKalb police Capt. Stephen Fore told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an email. “The gun discharged, striking the female.”

The victim, whose name has not been released, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in “moderate to critical condition,” Fore said.

He said detectives were working to identify the men involved.

The incident was the second shooting this week at a south DeKalb hotel.
