Athens-Clarke County police said they are investigating two shootings that occurred on consecutive days this weekend in different apartment complexes in east Athens.
In the first, a woman suffered a foot injury by a bullet that was shot into her home at the Athens Gardens apartment complex at about 6 p.m. on Saturday, and a 32-year-old man suffered what was described as non-life-threatening injuries when shot shortly after 12 a.m. Sunday on Thumpa Avenue in the Clarke Gardens complex.
ACCPD Public Information Officer Lt. Jody Thompson said investigators did not believe the woman had been specifically targeted.
"The incidents were not related." He said. "The Thumpa Ave (incident) had several different witness accounts of what actually occurred. It is still unclear what actually caused the shooting.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding these shootings is asked to contact Sgt. Scott Black at 762-400-7058 or
