Eight people get 'leaded' at Atlanta gas station
2022-07-25
FOX 5: ATLANTA - Atlanta police are investigating a drive-by shooting at a gas station on Northside Drive that sent eight people to the hospital with injuries early Sunday morning.

Two people are in critical condition, while six others are expected to be ok, after a shooting just before 1 a.m. outside the Shell gas station next to the Diamond Night Club.

"An unknown individual drove up in a vehicle and starting shooting at them," APD’s Zone 2 Commander Major Ailen Mitchell said.

Atlanta Police said six of the victims, ages 16 to 21, were women and two others, ages 18 to 21, were men.

Investigators are unclear on why the gunman fired those shots at nearly a dozen people who were in the parking lot talking at the time.

Now, shattered glass windows and concern from residents are what’s left of the scene.

#25 Beavis I too used to go mushroom hunting with my father as a child; It was magic. Now that I have had a 1/2 a Century to reflect upon this experience, and other simple, magical wonders of his, I remember them fondly and have gained more respect for him in that time. Beavis, you have given you children a very big gift, not many people today have the "know how" of living off the land... Bravo to you! ... my fellow Rantburger. This, your mushrooming, will resonate in their memories long after we past from this earth... I know, I have wished I could have this time with my Dad again... so peaceful. so rewarding, simply magical.
