Double-shooting at convenience store leaves one dead, police say

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police are investigating a deadly shooting at a QuikTrip in DeKalb County.

Authorities say an altercation led to two people being shot at the gas station on Panola Road around 8:30 p.m.

Police told Channel 2's Lauren Pozen an officer was working an off-duty job at the store when heard shots fired in the parking lot.

The detective said the officer came outside, saw the two victims on the ground and the suspect. Police said the victim who died got shot in the head.

"There is apparently a relationship between the victim and the deceased not a stranger on stranger incident. We don't know the extent of their relationship or why they have a problem if any with each other we are still trying to investigate that," said Lt. Timothy Donahue with the DeKalb County Police Department.

The shooter was taken into custody without incident.
