4 hurt in shooting outside Atlanta university library

Source: Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities say four people were hurt, including three students, in a shooting during Clark Atlanta University’s homecoming outside a campus library early Sunday. Police say a large group of people were listening to a DJ near the Robert W. Woodruff Library around 12:30 a.m. Sunday when officers on patrol in the area heard gunshots. According to Clark Atlanta University, a preliminary investigation found three students and another person were injured when shots were fired from a vehicle. The historically Black college was celebrating homecoming. Atlanta police say one of the victims was grazed and refused medical attention. Three others were taken to a hospital, though they were conscious and alert.

Regardless of WHAT bigger city we're in same rules. And in ATL they're really letting the homeless situation get out of control.

There's nothing we can do to stop the Repukes from bleeding it into the innocent. But we could all be better Democrats.

Our biggest problem was dancing to Stairway To Heaven when it changed from a hugger to a rocker.
Best wishes to the victims. This is bullshit!

A drive-by shooting during homecoming at a HBCU in Georgia? It wasn’t random and I’m sure it wasn’t “Black on Black” crime. I’m guessing one of MTG’s fans. I hope they can find footage of the car with a clear shot of the license plate.

This has all the hallmarks of a MAGA inspired domestic terrorist attack. I hope the DOJ / FBI get involved.

because the odds are that you'll be wrong. Whether we like it or not, thats a fact. There are no reports of any slurs yelled or anything thrown; just gunshots. In recent history ALL the shootings & armed robbery suspects involving Clark students have been black people. And none of them were students.
