Recently, a 47-year-old woman was shot outside of her apartment in Savannah.

Several residents reported vehicle and property damage at the apartment complex the night of the shooting.

How safe is this apartment complex?

In Georgia, more than a million residents live in apartments.

By law, apartment owners are required to protect all its residents and guests from any foreseeable harm while on the property.
