Woman shot in apparent home invasion

A unidentified female was shot twice in the leg Friday night at her southeast Atlanta home, police say.

Two men, at least one of whom was armed, forced their way into the house at 19 Claire Drive around 8 p.m. WAGA-TV reported the woman's two sons, 10 and 13, were home at the time but were not harmed. The victim's injuries are not life-threatening, Atlanta Police spokesman Otis Redmond said. She is being treated at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Police are still looking for the two suspects. Return to ajc.com for updates.
