Teen in critical condition after shooting at apartment south of Atlanta

A shooting that critically injured a 15-year-old at a South Fulton apartment complex might have started as a robbery, police Wednesday.

A day after the violent incident, the search continued for a suspect. South Fulton police spokesperson Tori Cooper said officers were called to the 4900 block of Delano Road around 6:25 p.m. Tuesday. The area is just west of I-285 near the intersection of South Fulton Parkway and Roosevelt Highway.

At the scene, officials found the teenager suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was taken to a hospital.
