The shooting happened at the Windrush Apartments early Wednesday morning.
Police said it appeared that a man and woman were in one apartment where the shooting happened and both of them were shot. A stray bullet pierced a wall and hit a 4-month-old in the back, police said.
The parents of the 4-month-old told Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes doctors took the bullet out of his side, and now they're checking all of his organs and arteries to make sure he'll be OK.
“As my girl was feeding him, it hit her between her fingers and hit the baby,” father Paul Nurse said.
Officers said the baby was in another apartment in his mother's arms. The baby is being treated at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston and is stable, according to police.
Investigators said they are not sure what triggered the shooting or who fired the shots, but said they spoke to a person who might have seen what happened.
Crime scene technicians were inside both apartments collecting evidence while officers and a K-9 unit were outside searching for evidence connected to the shooting.
“We're supposed to be moving Friday and this happened right before I moved,” Nurse said.
Reportedly, a man was cleaning a gun and dropped it, and that's when the gun went off.
The bullet went through his hand, then through a woman's leg, through the wall and into little baby Bless's side.
His father was at work when he got the frightening call.
"I was just praying to God the whole time as I was driving like don't take my baby please," Nurse said.
The family is trying to get out of that apartment as soon as possible.
