The APD media release went on to state that upon arrival, APD officers located a female victim who appeared to have been shot. Initial examination indicated she had been struck in the hand and ear.
Atlanta Fire Rescue Medics stabilized the victim on scene before she was taken to the hospital in stable condition at time of transport.
