A motorist was shot and wounded early Tuesday while driving along a northeast Atlanta interstate.
Atlanta police dispatchers received reports about 12:30 a.m. that as many as 20 shots were fired at a silver car along I-85 northbound near Piedmont Road.
Responding officers found the 30-year-old man inside a vehicle that was against the median wall with all airbags deployed, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said.
Jones said the car had been shot at least 10 times, with three of the bullets hitting the victim in the back.
The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. His condition was not immediately available.
Jones said officers found a pistol under the right foot of the victim, who refused to provide any information about the incident.
