Police: 40 shots fired in drive-by that injured teen, 2 others

ATLANTA — Investigators are searching for a gunman after a shooting left three people injured in southeast Atlanta.

Nearly 40 shell casings littered the pavement along Redford Drive. Among the victims was a 14-year-old boy.

“You heard that first shot, like, boom. Then you heard boom, boom, boom,” witness Ryan Clausell told Channel 2’s Nefertiti Jaquez. “I am still nervous. I’m still nervous.”

Clausell said she was terrified when she heard the gunshots erupt outside her front door.

“He had a big gun. One guy had a big gun. The other guys had smaller guns,” Clausell said.

Now, investigators are looking for the man who had the big gun.

Police said around 7 p.m. on Tuesday the man drove to the neighborhood and opened fire, hitting three people.

Witnesses told police the target was a woman in her 30s who had recently gotten into a fight with a former boyfriend.

When bullets started flying, some pierced a car, in which investigators say a man and the teen were sitting.

“As a mother, how does it make you feel that a 14-year-old boy was innocently shot in all this?” Jaquez asked Clausell.

“It’s sad,” Clausell said.

Anyone with information in this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
