ATLANTA — After two men were shot and killed as they slept outside in Atlanta, police say they fear a gunman might be targeting homeless people. The latest killing happened late Tuesday or early Wednesday near White Hall Street and Northside Drive, when a homeless man curled up in a blanket was shot multiple times as he slept, police said. Another man, also believed to be homeless, was found dead Sunday.
