A person was shot multiple times Friday evening near a Walmart in South Fulton, police said.
Officers were called to a shopping complex that houses the grocery store in the 6100 block of Old National Highway on reports of a person shot about 7 p.m. At the scene, police said they found a person suffering from several non-fatal gunshot wounds. The victim was taken to a hospital.
“There is no ongoing threat to the public and (it) appears to be an isolated incident,” police spokesman Capt. Derrick Rogers said as the investigation was unfurling.
According to Channel 2 Action News, several evidence markers were placed within the parking lot of the complex, including some near an entrance to the Walmart. Rogers said he could not confirm where in the plaza the gunfire occured.
Dozens of police vehicles swarmed the complex as last-minute shoppers bought holiday gifts and others enjoyed dinner. The area is also home to a Goodwill and several fast-food restaurants.
Police did not provide any information on a suspect.
