Atlanta Police are investigating the overnight shooting of three people outside an Edgewood Avenue restaurant and bar.

According to the report, officers responded to a report of person’s shot at Harold’s Chicken & Ice Bar just before 12:30 a.m.

Upon arrival, officers located two male victims with gunshot wounds. One of the male victims, a security guard working at the bar, sustained a gunshot wound and was transported to the hospital in stable condition.

A second male gunshot victim was also privately transported to the hospital where he remains in serious condition. A second female gunshot victim was privately transported to Grady Hospital in stable condition.
