Officers responded to three shootings reported minutes apart at three separate northwest Atlanta addresses Wednesday afternoon.
Three men were shot but no one was killed, according to investigators.
Dispatchers received the three calls between 4:35 p.m. and 4:41 p.m. and arrived to discover men suffering from gunshot wounds at each location, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer Stephanie Brown said.
Detectives believe the shootings are related, but police have released few details about their investigation.
One man at 2592 Baker Road was found shot in the stomach, Brown said. Another was discovered nearby at 567 Hamilton E. Holmes Drive.
Police were also called to Atlanta Fire Station No. 38 along Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, where they discovered a third man who was shot in the hand and leg.
All three were described as alert and taken to local hospitals, Brown said.
It’s unclear if the men were together when they were shot or if there was more than one shooter.
