Group of masked men shot victims at home in deadly triple shooting: Police

Police said the investigation is active and ongoing at this time.

ATLANTA — One person is dead after a triple shooting in northwest Atlanta, and police believe it was not a random crime. 

According to Atlanta Police, officers responded to calls of a shooting at a home in the 400 block of Oliver Street NW around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday.

When they got there, police said officers found three men - all in their 60s - with apparent gunshot wounds. 

According to Atlanta Police, an initial investigation suggests that a group of five to six men with masks on got to the house and shot one of the victims in the driveway. The group then went inside the home and shot the other two, according to police. The group then ran off from the scene.

One of the men shot inside the home was declared dead on scene by Grady EMS, according to police. Police said the other two men were alert and breathing and taken to Grady Hospital for treatment. 

Meanwhile, homicide detectives responded to the scene to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. At this time, police said it appears the crime was not random. 

Police said the man who died lives at the home where the shooting happened; they're not sure how the three victims are related to each other. 

Police said the investigation is active and ongoing at this time. They're asking anyone who may have seen the group running off from the scene to come forward with information that could help with the case. No other details were available.
