ATLANTA — Several people were injured in what police say was a drive-by shooting at a northwest Atlanta gas station shortly after midnight Sunday.
Two officers were flagged down around 12:45 a.m. to report a shooting, police told reporters from the scene. About a dozen people were talking in the parking lot of a Shell gas station at 1695 Northside Drive when a vehicle pulled into the parking lot and its occupants began shooting.
Eight people were injured and taken to hospitals, two of whom are in critical condition, Channel 2 Action News reported.
People who live nearby told the news station that there were nearly 30 gunshots.
Multiple bullets pierced the glass of the gas station’s convenience store, leaving window panes completely shattered. Officers were seen combing through evidence at the scene.
Police have not released any other information about the victims, any potential suspects or what sparked the shooting.
