Police are investigating an early morning shooting that left a man in critical condition at an apartment complex in south Atlanta on Tuesday.

Officers were called to Pavilion Place apartments in the 500 block of Cleveland Avenue shortly before 6 a.m. about a person shot. A man was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital in critical condition, police said.

As investigators continue looking into the case, Atlanta police have not released any information about a suspect or why the shooting occurred, spokesman Officer Steve Avery said.

More than three hours after the non-fatal shooting, police have not said if a suspect has been identified.

The shooting is one of a string of fatal and non-fatal apartment incidents around the city Tuesday morning.

Around 1 a.m., Atlanta police said they found a man with a stab wound to the chest at the Santafe Villa on Metropolitan Parkway. Police said the fatal stabbing may have happened after an argument with a neighbor. The neighbor was detained for questioning, authorities said.

Less than an hour later, police said a man fatally shot himself after shooting a woman at the Glen Iris Lofts located just a block away from Ponce City Market. The woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
