Truck driver shot near rail yard in Atlanta, trailer stolen

Police are looking for two men who shot a truck driver and then stole his semitrailer loaded with furniture near a rail yard in Atlanta.

Investigators say the truck driver was leaving the Norfolk Southern train yard Tuesday morning when he was held up by two men, then shot in the head.

Atlanta police Capt. Terrell Griffin said the trucker

suffered a "graze wound" to his head and was in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.

WSB Radio reports that police found the cab of the J.B. Hunt Transport truck east of the city in DeKalb County, but were still searching for the trailer.
