Atlanta police are actively searching for multiple suspects following a shooting incident that left a 13-year-old boy injured inside a residence in Southeast Atlanta. The incident occurred early Sunday morning, just before 4 a.m., at an apartment building located on Hank Aaron Drive SE. According to law enforcement, several individuals opened fire on the apartment from the street outside. Upon arrival, officers discovered the teenager inside the home who had been shot. Paramedics transported the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was reported to be awake and breathing.
