A 52-year-old man was rushed to the hospital early Friday after he was shot in the head outside a DeKalb County condominium complex.
The man was robbed as he was leaving the complex in the 4800 block of Snapfinger Woods Drive near Decatur around 4 a.m.
According to DeKalb police, the victim was getting into his car when three men approached him and demanded his belongings at gunpoint. He gave over his things, but he was shot anyway.
The man was able to call 911 and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with life-threatening injuries. His condition is unknown.
His roommate told Channel 2 Action News the man works as a barber and is “a real good guy.”
“I can’t understand why someone would hurt him,” his roommate, who asked not to be identified, said. “But if they were trying to rob him ... robbers don’t care.”
Police said the group of men ran off after the shooting, Channel 2 reported.
No further details were released.
