Man shot in Vine City ran into Chick-fil-A for help, police say

A man shot in Atlanta’s Vine City neighborhood Monday night ran into a Chick-fil-A restaurant seeking help, police told Channel 2 Action News.

The victim, who has not been identified, was shot in the back on a busy stretch of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. A witness told Channel 2 there were several people, including children, walking along the street when gunshots rang out just before 7:30 p.m.

“The shooter had no heart for the children that were out here,” witness Ashley Parker said. He was doing renovations at the nearby Mr. Everything Cafe when he said a bullet crashed through the window.
