12-year-old injured in possible drive-by shooting at SE Atlanta home

Police are searching for a gunman in a shooting at a southeast Atlanta home that sent a 12-year-old to the hospital overnight.

The shooting happened shortly after midnight at a home on the 2000 block of Lakewood Trail, police said.

Officials tell FOX 5 officers responded to the scene after receiving a call about a person shot and found the victim at the scene.

Investigators believe the child was hit once and possibly crushed by a second bullet while inside the home.

The child was rushed to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. They are expected to survive their injuries.

Authorities are still investigating what led to the violence, but officers told FOX 5 it could have been a shooting.

Detectives searched the area and found shell casings on the road. Investigators are now looking for possible doorbell camera videos that could help with the case.

If you have information that could help the investigation, call the Atlanta Police Department.
