The situation occurred Oct. 2 at East Point-based We Care Pediatrics & Adolescent Group. Witnesses told police they heard individuals arguing outside before the shooting occurred. A video obtained by WSB-TV2 shows a couple and their two young children running away from the practice’s front entrance after hearing gunshots.
One child was hit with glass after a bullet shattered a glass door near him, but no injuries occurred. The bullet pierced a hole near the office’s reception desk. A bulletproof mirror in the facility “prevented the bullet from coming to the exam room where I was with a patient on the exam table,” Cheryl Kendall, MD, owner of We Care Pediatrics, told WSB-TV2.
Police are still looking for the shooting suspect. Dr. Kendall said the argument and gunfire were not connected to the practice or any of its patients.
