Snapchat video shows two men randomly firing gun out window while driving

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A viral video of two men shooting a gun out of a car window while they were driving down the road has gotten the attention of Clayton County police, who confirm they have opened an investigation into the incident.

The two men are seen smiling and blaring music as they drive down the road -- taking turns shooting a gun out the window. At one point, the video shows the passenger in the car point the gun at the camera and then shoot the gun outside the window on his side of the car, shooting off a number of rounds.

The video was posted to Snapchat with a Clayton County filter and has been shared across several social media sites since then.

Clayton County police say they know who the men in the video are, but no one has been taken into custody and names aren't being released.

Channel 2's Christian Jennings first spotted the video on the Facebook page called Georgia Law Enforcement, which is run by police officers from various agencies across the state.

One of the administrators of the Facebook page told Jennings someone showed him the Snapchat video and he immediately posted it to social media.

Within 30 minutes, he said, he had helpful tips that he passed along to Clayton County police and the video quickly captured the attention of the Clayton County Police Department.

“You have just wasted how much time of your life doing something so stupid and so meaningless, let alone you could have killed somebody,” said Clayton County resident Toni Bostic.

“They’re not minors, clearly, so they know well what they’re doing,” another neighbor told Jennings.

Clayton County police say they need the public's help, asking anyone who has any property damage that could possibly be connected to this incident to give them a call.

They're still trying to figure out where the incident happened.
