STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- Seven men were wounded Thursday night during a drive-by shooting at a Stone Mountain home.

Police said the victims were gathered outside a home at 2159 Scarbrough Lane when someone in a passing vehicle opened fire with an automatic weapon. The vehicle then circled the block, made a second pass of the home and the shooter opened fire again.

    • "Obviously chaos with many people injured," said DeKalb County Police Officer J.T. Ware.

    The victims were between the ages of 16-30, according to investigators.

    Five of the wounded were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital; two others to the Atlanta Medical Center. Police are not saying if they think the shooting was gang related.
