2 people shot outside south Fulton County shopping center
A fight at a south Fulton County strip shopping center early Sunday left two men hospitalized with gunshot wounds, police said.
Shortly after 3 a.m., the men got into an altercation with a third person in the parking lot of 7490 Old National Highway, said Cpl. Kay Lester of the Fulton County police. The third man opened fire, wounding one man in the neck and the other in the back, Lester said. Both were in stable condition Sunday at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Two nightclubs are located in the shopping center, but Lester said police had not determined whether the men involved in the shooting had been in either. No one has been arrested, and no suspects have been identified.
Initial reports indicated a third person was wounded, Lester said, but detectives on the scene had not confirmed additional injuries.
