ATLANTA – One child has been killed and three injured by gunmen firing into homes in the Atlanta area in the last month.
No one has been arrested.
Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the children in the three shootings within the city limits were not targets. “Rather adults in the home were,” he said.
Police Chief George Turner said any act of violence is unacceptable. “But violent acts against children are particularly disturbing, and we will aggressively pursue justice for those innocent victims.”
A spokeswoman for the Fulton County Police Department said an investigation into the one shooting in suburban Fairburn is continuing.
