Cobb Police said Wednesday someone in a vehicle who was shot by a driver in another vehicle at a major intersection in Northeast Cobb has been taken to a hospital.
Cobb Police said on its Facebook page shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday that the condition of the unidentified victim is unknown.
The social media message said that the incident took place on Woodstock Road near the intersection of Mabry Road, in the vicinity of the Sandy Plains Village shopping center.
It’s also near the boundary between Cobb County and the city of Roswell.
Cobb Police said officers were called to the area at around 11:13 a.m., after receiving reports of a driver firing shots at another vehicle “during an apparent road rage incident.”
Police said both vehicles continued through the intersection, and the vehicle with the person who had been shot stopped inside Roswell city limits.
According to Roswell Police, the victim was found at Highway 92 (Woodstock Road) and Laurel Lake Drive in Roswell and was conscious and alert.
The victim was rendered medical aid there and then taken to an unnamed hospital, according to police.
“Preliminary information indicates that the individual was shot in Cobb County before driving into Roswell. Their police department has assumed the investigation,” Roswell Police said.
Cobb Police had no further information, including the whereabouts of the suspected shooter, but said it is continuing to investigate.
“Significant traffic delays are expected in the area as investigators continue processing the scene,” Cobb Police said.
“Motorists are encouraged to avoid the area and utilize alternate routes whenever possible. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.”
