Both victims were found with head injuries when officers responded to the Residences at Campbellton on Campbellton Road about 7:30 p.m., according to Atlanta police. The incident was initially described as a shooting, but police do not believe the victims were shot.
“The preliminary investigation indicates both victims were assaulted by a male, causing the injuries,” police spokesman Officer Steve Avery said in a statement. “It appears no one was shot and the suspect may have used some type of blunt object during the assault.”
The victims were not identified by police,. The woman was taken to a hospital in serious condition Thursday night, and no update on her condition was provided Friday.
The incident remains under investigation, Avery said.
