Atlanta police say two men are recovering after a shooting Tuesday morning that left both victims in stable condition and alert when they were transported to Grady Memorial Hospital.

The shots were fired in the area of Forsyth Street and Brotherton Street, near the Garnett MARTA station and Greyhound bus station.

According to Atlanta police, four men were detained in connection with the incident as investigators continue to piece together what led up to the shooting. Authorities said two of the men detained were also among those shot.

A witness, identified as Paul Crump, said he had just arrived in the area and dropped his wife off when he heard gunfire.
