DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Three people were shot, including a 2-year-old, on Tuesday night in DeKalb County, according to police.
Officers were dispatched regarding a person being shot around 11:38 p.m. at Maypop Lane in Decatur. According to Google Maps, that is just a minute away from Walden Lake.
DeKalb County Police Department reported finding a man and a 2-year-old shot. The two were taken to the hospital by EMS for treatment, officers added that the baby's injuries were life-threatening, and the man is expected to be OK.
Another man was later taken to Hillandale Hospital and is expected to be alright as well, but the department did not say how the three were connected.
Neighbors in the area, who asked not to be identified, said the spray of bullets sounded like fireworks. After hearing a toddler was killed they're concerned about their own children.
"It could have been my child. Stray bullets don't have a name on it," the neighbor said.
So far, investigators said the shooting does not appear to be random.
Detectives with DeKalb County Police Department are still looking into the circumstances of the shooting and have not provided any further information.
