According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers responded around 6:15 p.m. on April 14 to reports of a shooting on Interstate 75. The incident occurred near North Central Avenue SW, close to the airport in Atlanta.
When police arrived, they found a woman inside her vehicle with a gunshot wound. She was immediately taken to the hospital in critical condition.
