Police: Woman shot, injured on Cheshire Bridge Road

Officers said she was transported to the hospital and is expected to be OK.

ATLANTA — A woman was shot on Cheshire Bridge Road early Tuesday morning, according to police. 

Atlanta Police officers said she was transported to the hospital and is expected to be ok.

The location where she was shot is not far from the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and appears to be outside an antique and furniture store.

Around 6:10 a.m., they responded to the area along the busy roadway and learned that she had been in a dispute earlier with two men that escalated to her using pepper spray, officers said. 

A short time later, she spotted the men again and she told police she let them know that she called 911. While she was driving away, she told officers multiple shots were fired and that's when she realized she was struck. 

Police say they are still working to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the incident and that it remains under investigation.
