KIRKWOOD — Two men were shot late Thursday off a bike trail near the 200 block of Warren Street.
Both men were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital — one critically injured with a head wound and the other was shot in the leg.
A female companion who was walking with the two men on a nearby trail, was not injured in the 5:30 p.m. incident, Sgt. Greg Lyon, an Atlanta Police Department spokesman, said.
The three were walking on the trail when they were approached by two other men.
Lyon said an altercation ensued — it's not clear if the robbery was the motive — leading to the victims being shot.
It also remains unclear if they two parties knew each other, Lyon said.
A detailed description of the two gunmen — who remain at large — was not immediately available.
Police are still investigating.
