A teenage girl was shot at a DeKalb County home early Tuesday when gunfire erupted and awakened residents in the quiet neighborhood, authorities said.
DeKalb police were called at about 12:10 a.m. to the 7000 block of Brecken Place, where several people were inside the home when the gunshots rang out, officials said. The residence is near the intersection of South Deshon Road and Stephenson Road.
At the scene, officers found the girl suffering from several gunshot wounds, police said. She was taken to the hospital, but a police spokesperson said they didn’t have an update on her condition late Tuesday morning.
“Police responded to the scene to investigate and are actively following up on leads,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact DeKalb police through the Tip411 app, or by texting “DKPD” to 847411, followed by their tip.
