Authorities are investigating a shooting in northwest Atlanta, but the victim is not cooperating with investigators, police said.
Sometime after 8 p.m. Saturday, police responded to reports of shots fired somewhere at Browntown Road.
Minutes later, police received a call of a person shot nearby, at the intersection of Hollywood Road and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, according to police reports.
A vehicle on Maldo Drive and two homes — on one Argyle Drive NW and one on Marco Drive — were struck by bullets during the incident, the incident report stated.
Officers arriving on the scene were unable to find the victim initially, Atlanta police spokesman Sgt. Gregory Lyon said Saturday. He was shot somewhere on Marco Drive, he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution via email Sunday. Eventually, the victim turned up at Atlanta Medical Center.
“He was driven by private vehicle to the hospital,” Lyon said.
On Sunday, the victim was in stable condition and was being uncooperative with police, he said.
Fourteen shell casings were recovered in the 2300 block of Marco Drive, according to the police report.
The investigation is continuing.
