2 men dead in NW Atlanta shooting, 3rd man recovering

ATLANTA - Atlanta police officers are investigating a triple shooting that ended with two men dead, and a third rushed to the hospital.

Police say the two men were found bleeding on Francis Place around 6:30 p.m. They were rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but died from their injuries.

Investigators say they later learned there was a third person involved. He is stable and is expected to pull through. Family members say he's in his 20s.

"What we know is all three males were at this location. There was a dispute, gun fire erupted, and the two males are deceased, one is in stable condition," Atlanta Police Lt. Andrew Smith said.

FOX 5 Atlanta spoke to a witness to the shooting. The witness says he saw two men get out of their car with masks on and approach the survivor, who lives at the home.

That's when the witness says he heard about 10 shots fired.

"Whatever their trials and tribulations, or whatever the situation was, it's sad, really," the witness said. "I don't know if it was a botched robbery or gang-related. I'm not sure."

It appears no arrests have been made.

This investigation remains ongoing.
