A man was found shot early Tuesday in a parking lot just across the street from Georgia State University’s Center Parc Credit Union Stadium, Atlanta police said.

The shooting happened outside Aspen Heights Atlanta, an off-campus apartment complex for GSU students about a mile south of the campus in southwest Atlanta, police said in a news release. The man was taken to a hospital and was stable, according to police.

Officers were called to 521 Hank Aaron Drive around 1:10 a.m., police said, and found the victim in the parking lot with a gunshot wound. According to authorities, the man said he was walking in the lot when he heard gunfire and was struck by a bullet.

Police did not release the man’s name or say whether he is a GSU student. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reached out to university officials for more information.

No suspect information was available.
