Tucker Shooting Leaves One Dead, Two Injured

Apartment residents heard multiple shots late Tuesday night.

A man was found shot to death inside a car last night at the Stanford Oaks apartments in Tucker, and two others were found injured nearby. 

The dead man was discovered slumped over in a Pontiac, WSB reported. Linette March, who lives at the Idlewood Road complex, said she heard multiple shots fired around 11:30 p.m. 

“When I walked out, there was a car sitting right here and a young man slumped over,” March said. “I was kind of sick to know that happened in our complex. It’s a shock.” The three victims are not residents of Stanford Oaks, police said.

The wounded men, whose names have not been released, were taken to hospital and are expected to survive. Police have no motive yet and are investigating.
