ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta police say a city officer was shot and wounded by an unknown gunman who targeted him from a nearby rooftop.
The officer was shot in the leg as he left a restaurant on Thursday night in Little Five Points, a busy dining and entertainment district.
Investigators believe the shooter waited for the officer to come out of the restaurant, then fired six to seven shots. Police were searching a nearby rooftop for shell casings and other evidence.
