Hospital gives updates on injured victims
Three of the four women who were shot and injured remain in the intensive care unit, Dr. Robert Jansen, the chief medical officer at Grady Health, said at a news conference Thursday.
Two of those three women are "critical" and will return to the operating room for additional procedures, he said. The third patient in intensive care is stable and hopefully can move out of the ICU later in the day, he said.
The fourth woman who was shot is in stable condition, he said.
"As of right now everybody is as stable as they can be given the nature of their injuries," Jansen said.

Jansen said he's spoken with two of the injured victims.
"They have been traumatized," he said.
"They are very grateful for the support and care they've received," he said, however, "the fact that they were in a health care facility just makes it worse."
Jansen noted that "the impact" of this shooting "on the staff is something you can't imagine."
"Unfortunately, in this day and age, seeing shooting victims is almost a daily occurrence here," he said.
"But when they come in like this, particularly because it happened in a health care setting, it resonates more," he said, adding that the hospital staff is being offered support.
