Two people were injured after a shooting in Union City, police said.

Two men were injured Monday after being involved in a shooting in Union City, police said.

Officers were called to the intersection of South Fulton Parkway and Stonewall Tell Road at about 3:15 p.m. regarding the shooting, only to find a vehicle crashed into a utility pole, Union City police said. Blood and shell casings were also found at the scene.

Authorities said they were able to determine that the victims got into another vehicle and “fled to a nearby hospital” after the gunfire. They were eventually located at a hospital in critical condition. As of Tuesday evening, police spokesman Lt. Jerome Turner said the victims were stable and still in the hospital.

In addition to speaking to the victims, police said they canvassed the site of the crime and looked for cameras and witnesses.

Turner said the incident “appears to be gang-related,” but that the victims are “delaying their cooperation with investigators.” No details were released on a suspect.
