11-year-old, 14 year old boys shot at SW Atlanta home

Two boys are recovering in the hospital after police say they were shot in a domestic incident at an Atlanta home on Sunday night. 

"Our officers arrived on scene, identified two juveniles who were shot," said Atlanta Police Captain Joshua Holt at the scene early Monday. 

Officials described the victims as being an 11-year-old and a 14-year-old.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. at a home on Omaha Road in southwest Atlanta. Police officers found one of the victims at the house. Officials say someone drove the other boy around the block to a nearby gas station for safety.

Paramedics rushed both of the boys to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. As of the last check, both boys are expected to survive their injuries.

"This incident is isolated, domestic incident, is what our investigation is detailing right now," said Captain Holt. 

Investigators say the boys did not shoot each other and called the shooting an isolated domestic incident. 

FOX 5 cameras saw an adult male being led away in handcuffs at the scene. Officers have charged the man, identified as James Kimbrough, with reckless conduct, two counts of cruelty to children, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

"Too close to home, too close to home. It shouldn't happen all together nowhere," said Michael Davis who lives across the street. "I see them get off of the bus when I'm here at random times. They kind of play in the street a little bit."

Police have not specified the relationship between the man arrested and the two victims.
