ATLANTA — A spate of five shootings has left three people dead and three others injured across Atlanta, from Midtown to the southwest city border within 26 hours between early Saturday morning and early Sunday, according to authorities.
The weekend’s gun violence is a grim reminder of the rising deadly crime that the city continues to fight with government initiatives and increased security and policing efforts.
In the first case, a man was shot around midnight while asleep in his home in the 2300 block of Sandcove Court, just outside the Sandlewood Estates, police said. The victim was described as alert and taken to a hospital.
