ATLANTA — The Atlanta Police Department is investigating a shooting where the only witness was a child.

It happened on Bent Creek Way SW on Thursday night.

An APD spokesperson told Channel 2 Action News that the victim was taken to surgery.

The only witness to the incident was a 9-year-old child, officers said.
