Six people were shot while standing outside a home in southeast Atlanta on Sunday afternoon, according to authorities.
Officers were called to the 1000 block of Redford Drive in the Rebel Valley Forest neighborhood around 4 p.m. and found the six victims, five of whom were taken to a hospital, police said. The sixth suffered only a graze wound.
Atlanta police Lt. Germain Dearlove told Channel 2 Action News that the victims — five men and a woman ― appeared to have been targeted. They were standing in a home’s front yard when someone walked up and opened fire. It also appeared that the victims returned fire, he said.
Dearlove told the news station the suspect or suspects allegedly parked on one side of the street and walked to where the victims were standing.
The conditions of the victims were not disclosed. It is not clear what sparked the shooting.
Police did not release any other details, including if any suspects have been identified.
