At Least Two Shot Outside Grady Football Game

At least two people were wounded by gunfire outside a Grady High School football game on Friday night, an Atlanta police report shows.

Witnesses told police that just before 11 p.m., a group of two groups of people began arguing at the intersection of Monroe Drive and 8th Street when one of the men in a group of black males pulled out a gun and started shooting. The witness and his cousin ran into a nearby building, where it was discovered that the cousin had been shot in the back.

Another victim told police that he was walking down Monroe Drive towards 8th Street when he was confronted by a group of males. One of the suspects asked the victim “Do you have a problem?” and shot at the victim when he said he did not have a problem.

A woman driving down 8th Street towards Monroe Drive was caught in the crossfire and wounded by a bullet grazing her head and another which hit her shin, according to the report. All told, police found 24 shell casings and two fragments of .40 caliber bullets and recovered a vehicle which could have been used by suspects.

Investigators are working to obtain video of the shooting.
