EAST POINT, Ga. — A home in the Leyland Pointe subdivision of East Point was targeted by gunfire twice in a few hours on Thursday, November 21.
Capt. Allyn Glover from East Point Police told 11Alive that they responded to a call about several shots being fired just after 2 p.m., outside a home in the 5000 block of Laurel Ridge Drive.
In that incident, a 19-year-old male inside the home was struck in the leg.
There were also two females and a child in the home at the time, but they were not hurt, police said.
At least five to 10 shots had been fired into the house, according to police. Neither the victim or the other witnesses were able to provide a description of the shooter or their vehicle at the time.
