Juvenile Injured After Shots Fired Into Rome Home

Sample Image

A juvenile was injured Thursday evening after multiple shots were fired into a home on Superba Avenue in North Rome, according to the Rome Police Department.

Officers with the Rome-Floyd Task Force were in the area serving a search warrant when they reported hearing approximately 30 gunshots. A responding officer was directed into the residence, where they found a juvenile suffering from a gunshot wound to the shoulder in the kitchen area.

The officer immediately began providing medical aid, reassuring the child while awaiting emergency transport. The victim was later taken to a hospital for treatment. The extent of the injuries has not been released, but the child was conscious at the scene.

Investigators say multiple shell casings of various calibers were recovered in the roadway near the intersection of Clervue Circle, indicating a large volume of gunfire. Officers also observed several bullet holes along the front and left side of the home, with at least one round entering through a window near the front door.

At the time of the shooting, four juveniles—ranging in age from 8 to 14—were inside the residence. Fortunately, no other injuries were reported.

Authorities reviewed surveillance footage from nearby convenience stores, which showed an SUV leaving the North Avenue area around the time of the shooting. A traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle matching that description, but investigators determined the driver was not involved.

The investigation remains ongoing, and no arrests have been announced.
