A girl was shot early Sunday morning after gunfire erupted during a party at a northwest Atlanta apartment, police said.
Police were called to The Point at Westside in the 300 block of Northside Drive around 3 a.m. after a shooting call. At the scene, a teenage girl was found shot in the hand and ear, police said. She was stable when taken to the hospital.

Authorities did not say how many rounds went off or if the suspected gunman had been arrested. No suspect description was provided.
