A recent wave of gun violence has hit metro Atlanta, resulting in at least 47 shooting victims treated by Grady Hospital over just four days. With deadly incidents reported across Henry, Clayton, and Fulton counties, local experts warn that sweltering summer temperatures may be exacerbating tensions within the community, possibly turning minor conflicts into violent confrontations.
