A 19-year-old woman was shot in the head as she and three others attempted to rob a man in Clayton County on Sunday, police said.
Clayton County Police said the shooting happened at an apartment complex in the 100 block of Chase Ridge Drive - a Riverdale address outside the city.
Police said Monday morning that Sijeria Parks was taken to a local hospital and is in critical condition.
.According to police, Parks invited a man over and then attempted to rob him with the help of three other people.
"During the robbery attempt, the suspects did brandish a gun, at which time the male victim fired his gun at the suspects in an attempt to get away," a Clayton County Police release said.
Parks was apparently hit by that shot. Police said the man "was able to flee the scene and notify police of the incident."
They said he is cooperating with an investigation. Police did not detail the status of the other three people involved in the robbery.
