ATLANTA — Atlanta Police said they found a man with apparent gunshot wounds to the back when they responded to a person shot call at an apartment just blocks away from Centennial Olympic Park Sunday morning. 

When officers arrived at the apartment, located in the 400 block of McAfee Street, N.W., at about 10:50 a.m., they said they found a man with two apparent gunshot wounds in his back.

A preliminary investigation found that during a melee between five people who officers said knew each other, a male suspect pulled out a gun and shot at a man who was trying to run from the scene.

The suspect left the apartment before officers arrived.

The wounded man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition.

The police investigation remains underway. No other people were hurt in the incident.
