Man shot to death, woman clinging to life after being stabbed multiple times in Atlanta home

A woman was clinging to life and a man is dead following a shooting and stabbing inside an Atlanta home over the weekend, police said.

The Atlanta Police Department reported officers responded just after 11:50 p.m. Sunday to a home about 7 miles south of downtown for a report of a person shot.

On scene, police said they found a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds and a man fatally wounded from an apparent shooting.

Paramedics who responded to the home pronounced the man dead at the scene.

The female was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Her condition was not immediately known Monday morning as homicide detectives continued to investigate a motive in the case.

Police did not release the name of the man who died or either person's age.

When reached by USA TODAY, police would not say whether both individuals lived at the home, say whether the case was domestic related or whether a suspect was at large.
