Handicap Man Shoots another Handicap Man in the Back

Amputee was shot while sitting in his wheelchair.

The Atlanta Police Department continues to investigate an amputee on amputee shooting early Friday morning on 7th Street in Southwest Atlanta.  7th Street is located off of Cleveland Avenue.

According to Captain Adam Lee III, the shooter was a guest in the house but police are not clear on what the motive may have been for the crime.  CBS Atlanta is reporting that after the suspect shot the roughly 45 year-old victim in the back while he sat in his wheelchair, he forced a woman in the house to drive him away from the scene of the shooting.

The victim was rushed to Grady and is in stable condition.  The amputee suspect is still being sought by police.  The woman that was forced to take the suspect away is safe at home.
