7-year-old shot in head, critically injured while riding near Phipps Plaza
A child was rushed to a hospital Monday night after she was shot while riding in her family’s vehicle near Phipps Plaza in Buckhead.
A $10,000 reward is being offered after a 7-year-old was rushed to a hospital Monday night after being shot while riding in a relative’s vehicle near Phipps Plaza in Buckhead.
The child was shot in the back of the head, police said Tuesday during a news conference.
Police confirmed that a group of men were fighting in the parking lot of the Saks Fifth Avenue store.
It’s the latest shooting in what has been a violent year for the Buckhead shopping district. Since December 2019, Atlanta police have investigated seven gunfire incidents at nearby Lenox Square. Arrests have been made in most of the shootings, including a March incident in the parking lot that killed a Tennessee man.
