A teenager selling water on an interstate ramp in College Park was shot multiple times Thursday afternoon.

The 17-year-old, who was with three others on an exit ramp between I-285 and Old National Highway, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds, College Park police spokesman Lt. O. Manning said.

The teen’s three companions, all 17, were not injured. Police have not provided an update on the condition of the injured teen.

According to the initial investigation, the four teens were selling bottled water on the exit ramp when two men pulled up in a white four-door sedan, each with guns, and opened fire on the group. The men then drove south on Old National Highway, Manning said.

None of the teens have been identified by College Park police and no other details have been released. The suspects have not been identified and the investigation is ongoing, Manning said.

Anyone who was a witness to the shooting or may have video or pictures around the time and area of the incident, or any other information, is asked to contact the College Park Police Department at 404-761-3131. Tipsters who wish to remain anonymous can call the College Park Tip Line at 404-768-8664 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.
