A 13-year-old boy was injured in a drive-by shooting Monday morning at his home in the West Lake neighborhood of northwest Atlanta, police said.
The shooting was reported around 1 a.m. in the 1500 block of Ezra Church Drive. The boy was found with a graze wound and taken to a Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta location, according to Atlanta police.
His mother also was inside the home at the time of the shooting but was not injured.
According to a preliminary investigation, at least one person in a white vehicle discharged multiple gunshots toward the victim’s home. It was not clear if the home, or the 13-year-old boy, were the intended targets of the gunfire.
Four bullet holes could be seen in one of the quaint home’s front windows, Channel 2 Action News footage showed.
No other details were released by police.
