DEKALB COUNTY — Police are investigating a triple shooting at a DeKalb County motel that left one man dead.

Police don't know who started shooting at whom, but one of the men already inside the room was killed and two others were taken to the hospital.
"That’s the theory we are working right now is that it was a robbery," DeKalb County police Lt. Brian DeLoach said.
Police say the motel's staff is cooperating and they are interviewing people in nearby rooms. They aren't sure who else may have witnessed the shooting.
“Stuff like this happens and people scatter, so people who we know who may have seen what we need them to see are gone, so we’re having to track down all those kinds of people," DeLoach said.
Police are hoping surveillance video from the motel will give them a good look at the gunmen.
