Man shot in the butt flags down Georgia State University officer

A Georgia State University officer was tasked with the odd job of tending to a man who had been shot in the buttocks on Saturday night.

Campus police confirmed the 25-year-old man was not a GSU student and that the shooting happened at a different location.

The man reportedly walked from the initial location to 120 Piedmont Avenue NE for help. That address belongs to a RaceTrac gas station that was recently shut down due to safety concerns, as well as The Mix, an off-campus student housing option for GSU. Multiple shootings have happened in the area over the last few years.
