14-year-old shot at DeKalb nightclub
-
- A
17-year-old boy was wounded when a fight between teenagers
at a DeKalb County nightclub led to gunfire early Sunday
morning, police said.
A fight broke
out just after midnight at Club Studio 72, which was hosting
a party for teenagers, according to Officer Jason Gagnon
with DeKalb police. The club is located in the 3900 block of
Lawrenceville Highway.
"The security
guards kicked those kids out of the club, at which point one
of the kids retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and began
shooting in the direction of the security guards," Gagnon
said.
A
17-year-old, who police originally stated was 14, was
transported to Grady Memorial Hospital after being shot,
Gagnon said. The teenager's injuries were not
life-threatening, and he was released from the hospital
Sunday, according to WAGA, Atlanta's Fox affiliate.
Detectives
have good leads on the shooter's identity, but no one is in
custody yet, Gagnon said.
Gagnon said
he did not know whether the 17-year-old was among those
kicked out of the club.
