A 25-year-old man was in critical condition Thursday after a shooting at a Decatur apartment complex, DeKalb County police spokesman Maj. Stephen Fore said.

Few details were available on the shooting that occurred about 2 p.m. at The Park on Candler Apartments, Fore said, but officers confirm two men were seen leaving the scene.

“The victim is unable to tell police what happened,” Fore said.

The victim was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.
