CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Authorities in Clayton County say dozens of shots were fired at an extended stay hotel overnight Monday.
The shooting happened at the HomeStay Suites at 6235 Highway 85 in Riverdale. According to Riverdale police, they found one man shot in the parking lot and another victim in the woods.
One was taken to the hospital in critical condition and the second is stable. Police tell Channel 2's Kristen Holloway that neither victim is being cooperative with the investigation.
