Two people were killed and a third was injured in a shooting Sunday evening in the Grove Park neighborhood of northwest Atlanta, according to police.
Around 6:30 p.m., officers responded to a call about a person shot in the 600 block of Francis Place, across the street from the Grove Park YMCA and the KIPP Woodson Park Academy.
When officers arrived, they found two men in critical condition with apparent gunshot wounds, Atlanta police said. The men were taken to a hospital, where they died. They were identified as 23-year-old Dantavious Guthrie and 24-year-old Quinta Tutman by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Lt. Andrew Smith told Channel 2 Action News that investigators then learned there may have been a third victim. A short time later, police confirmed a man in his late 20s arrived at Grady Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.
A witness, who did not want to be identified, told Channel 2 that he saw two men get out of a car and begin shooting. About 10 shots were fired, he told the news station.
No further details were released by police. Investigators are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
