A Sandy Springs teenager initially thought to have been shot multiple times late Tuesday night was actually shot once and stabbed several times, police said Wednesday.

The 15-year-old victim was wounded about 10 p.m. on Northwoods Drive off Roswell Road, just south of I-285.

Sandy Springs police Lt. Steve Rose said the boy, whose name has not been released, was in good condition Wednesday at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Rose said the victim, who lived in the general area, splitting his time between Northwoods Drive and a Roswell Road apartment complex, "claimed he was being robbed, but we're still looking at other possible scenarios."

Detectives Wednesday were following several leads, but were still looking for two suspects seen leaving the area after the incident and wearing jeans and dark hooded sweatshirts.
