Officers responded to the 3000 block of Washington Road about a shooting just before 5 p.m., East Point police spokesman Capt. Allyn Glover confirmed in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. At the scene, police found a man lying in the road with multiple gunshot wounds. His death was confirmed when emergency medical personnel arrived.
