Teen Girl Injured In Women's Gang Shootout
ATLANTA - A teen girl was shot in the head during a wild shooting involving two gangs of women, Atlanta police said.
The shooting happened early Wednesday in a parking lot of the Brentwood Village Apartments in southwest Atlanta.
Detectives told Channel 2’s Kerry Kavanaugh two groups of women started arguing when at least one person pulled out a gun.
”They was going back and forth saying who was gonna hit who, resident Tyesha Laster told Kavanaugh.
Laster said that at about 2 a.m. the shouting stopped and gunfire erupted. She said her three young children were sleeping only a few feet away.
”It was like 20 gun shots," she said.
Laster then grabbed her children, put them on the floor and called 911.
When police arrived, the victim was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition, according to police.
Authorities said after the shooting, everyone scattered so they were still trying to determine the names and ages of the women involved.
”We’re interviewing witnesses, trying to determine what caused it to go from an altercation into gunfire," said Atlanta police Capt. Van Hobbs.
