ATLANTA (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Two teens are dead and another child is injured after an early Tuesday morning shooting at an Atlanta apartment complex.

Police responded to the scene just before 1:00am Eastern.

A 13-year-old was found dead at the scene. A second 13-year-old and a 12-year-old were taken to local hospitals with injuries. Sadly, the other 13-year-old also died.
