From an article:

Police said Zachius Shropshire, 17, was shot in the chest and back as he walked home from Redan High School on North Redan Circle in Stone Mountain. Witnesses told police a black car, possibly a Honda, sped toward Shropshire and friends when someone rolled down a window and fired two to three shots. 

The teens ran off before Shropshire stopped and lay down in neighbor Artis Collins' yard. .... 

"He’s a good kid. He’s never been in any trouble and I was shocked when my husband told me. I was shocked,” neighbor Angela Morris said. 

Awadjie [a friend of Zachius], 14, said her parents now pick her up from school because they're concerned for her safety. 

"Kids are brave you know," said her father, Jonathan Clark. "But we as parents we know better. The bullet doesn’t have a name. It could've been anybody." 

Police are investigating the motive for the shooting.
