Did negligent security contribute to two deadly Atlanta shootings in one month?
Local News
A teenage boy was reportedly shot and killed on the playground outside of the Edgewood Court apartment complex Thursday, March 9, 2017.
According to WXIA reports, the fatal shooting occurred “in the 1500 block of Hardee Street at Edgewood Court Apartments – a complex in the Edgewood neighborhood of Atlanta.”
The tragedy comes only one month after a deadly shooting claimed the life of another young man outside the same complex, FOX 5 reports.
Following that incident, Atlanta Police apparently told FOX 5, “Although this is a public safety issue, there are some steps needed from Edgewood Court Apartments since it is private property. We just aren’t able to occupy their property 24 hours a day.”

Choosing the Right Attorney
Selecting the right attorney for you or your family is highly important. You must feel confident that the attorney you hire has a complete understanding of the law applicable to your particular case, and has successful experience in handling such cases.
Important: Do not hire a lawyer who has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct!!!
You should not hire an attorney who calls you or visits you unsolicited, or anyone that contacts you directly to offer legal services. This activity is strictly prohibited by Rule 7.3 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which states as follows:
– RULE 7.3, ABA MODEL RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.
If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.
Contingency Fees Disclaimer: “Contingent attorneys’ fees refers only to those fees charged by attorneys for their legal services. Such fees are not permitted in all types of cases. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client.”
