Earlier this week, Cobb County police responded to the Budgetel Inn where a 9-month-old girl was shot. She later died from her injuries. So far, four people have been arrested and charged.
Cobb County Commission Chairwoman Lisa Cupid called the shooting “especially heartbreaking” and also noted the motel’s history of calls.
“I also understand the deep concern our community feels about violent crimes, particularly in areas with a history of law enforcement calls. Cobb County Police have tools available to ensure compliance with safety measures that deter crime, and I will continue to support efforts to address locations where criminal activity is more likely to occur. Together, we must do everything possible to help prevent another tragedy like this from happening again.”
