Gunfire erupts at Coweta County apartment complex

Residents at a Coweta County apartment complex says it has been a bad year and are upset over the continual violence.

COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - An exchange of gunfire at a Coweta County apartment complex sent one teen to the hospital on Wednesday evening, investigators said.

It happened just after 8 p.m. at the Shenandoah Forest Apartments. Coweta County deputies arrived to find a 19-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken by helicopter to an Atlanta-area hospital.

Investigators believe the shooting started as a dispute and escalated into an exchange of gunshots.

Residents said there has been ongoing violence in the apartment building where this happened. They told FOX 5 they have even kept their children inside because of it.

A description of the shooter was not immediately available.
