Woman shot in overnight robbery

Fulton County police Wednesday morning were looking for the man who shot a pedestrian during a robbery attempt off Fulton Industrial Boulevard.

The 28-year-old victim was walking in the 3800 block of Wendell Drive about 12:45 a.m. when she was approached by a black male who demanded money, Fulton police spokeswoman Melissa Parker said.

“They had a brief argument and the male shot the female in the abdomen,” Parker said.

“The woman, whose name has not been released, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment of wounds that Parker said were not life-threatening.
