The shooting scene is in the area of several restaurants and shops, including the Sweet Auburn Curb Market and Grady Memorial Hospital.
Residents along Auburn Avenue believe the uptick in crime will become normal if something is not done to fix it.
“Third maybe the fourth thing that happened like within the past two weeks (in this area) just in this area alone,” West said. “It’s starting to become normal, every day…so much stuff going on that start to become numb to it.”
