A woman allegedly admitted to police she was breaking into cars at a southwest Atlanta apartment complex Thursday morning when she was shot multiple times.

Officers found the woman injured at the Cascade Commons apartments off Fairburn Road shortly after 3 a.m. She had multiple gunshot wounds to her upper body, Atlanta police spokesman Investigator James White told AJC.com.

“She indicated that while breaking into vehicles at the location, with her two accomplices, she heard gunfire and was struck,” White said in a statement.

The woman was conscious when she was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for further treatment.

All three were charged in connection with the vehicle break-ins, according to police. Their names have not been released.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
