Atlanta woman reacts after husband is shot while jogging in Buckhead


A family is still in shock after getting the call that one of their loved ones was shot while on an everyday jog through their Buckhead neighborhood on Saturday.

Atlanta Police said around 8:30 a.m. they were dispatched to the 1200 block of West Wesley Road NW for reports of a man who had been shot while jogging.
Atlanta Police responded and found Andrew suffering from gunshot wounds to the leg and hip.

Moments later, investigators said two more joggers were targeted nearby in the 800 block of West Wesley Road NW.
Hampton said nearly three hours later, around 11:30 a.m., officers received a call to the Collier Ridge Apartments along Noble Creek Dr. NW. There, officers located a man who had been ‘intentionally’ run over by a vehicle while taking out his garbage.

"Based on some ballistic evidence that was recovered from the vehicle, it also appears this may in fact be our suspect from the earlier shooting incidents,” said Hampton.

Police believe the suspect, who was immediately taken into custody, resides at the apartment complex. On Sunday they identified him as 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom and said he will be charged with attempt to commit murder, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

"We have information that he may have been suffering from some type of mental health crisis,” said Hampton.
