Three people were found suffering from gunshot wounds in southeast Atlanta on Friday afternoon after they were struck in a separate, unknown location, police said.
Officers responded to the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Browns Mill Road after getting reports of several people injured in a shooting, police said. At the scene, police found a 37-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds whose condition was considered critical. They also found a 28-year-old man who had been shot in the arm and a 19-year-old man with wounds to his torso and hip.
The two younger men were considered stable, and all three were taken to the hospital, police said.
