A man was shot in the chest with a crossbow in northwest Atlanta late Saturday night, according to police.
Officers received a call about a person shot in the 2600 block of Rockwood Avenue around 10:30 p.m. When they got to the location, they found a man who appeared to have a laceration to his chest, Atlanta police said in a news release.
After further investigation, officers determined the original location of the incident was less than a quarter-mile away at the Pic N Pay corner store at 2621 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, the news release states. Investigators believe the victim was standing in front of the store when the suspect, who was not identified publicly by police, arrived in a gold minivan and got out with a crossbow.
The suspect then struck the victim in the chest using the crossbow, the release states.
The victim was uncooperative with investigators. He was taken to a hospital and was described as stable.
Police did not release any other details about the victim, suspect or what led up to the incident.
