Three wounded in Newnan drive-by shooting

Newnan police are investigating a drive-by shooting Tuesday night that sent three people to Grady Memorial Hospital.

Deputy Chief Rodney Riggs told Channel 2 Action News that two men, ages 20 and 24, were sitting on the front porch of a home on West Washington Street in Newnan about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday when a burgundy-colored car drove by and multiple shots were fired from the car toward the house.

Both men were hit by the gunfire, and a 57-year-old woman in bed inside the house was also shot, Riggs said. Another person inside the house was not injured.
