DEKALB COUNTY Ga. — Three people were shot and one person was stabbed at a townhome complex in DeKalb County on Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting happened on Old Highgate Entry off North Hairston Road around 5 p.m.
NewsChopper 2 over the scene showed much of the property blocked off by crime scene tape.
Police originally said a fourth shooting victim showed up at the hospital, but later determined that person wasn't related to this incident.
“This incident occurred after a dispute outside the location that quickly escalated to gunfire," said Maj. Jerry Lewis, of the DeKalb County Police Department.
