Shot placement was left unspecified, so let’s hope it’s nothing trivial.

2 people injured in overnight shooting at DeKalb County gas station plaza

LITHONIA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Two people were rushed to the hospital following a shooting overnight inside a DeKalb County eatery.

The Atlanta’s Best Wings shop is located inside a gas station plaza at 6647 Covington Highway in Lithonia. The store owner showed Atlanta News First’s Don Shipman surveillance video from inside the store when the shooting happened around 2 a.m. Wednesday.

In the video, you can see two customers inside the store when one of them opens fire on the other. The shooter then runs out of the building, while the victim slowly drags himself across the store floor to a corner of the room.

A few minutes later, the shooter returns, grabbing what appears to be a backpack from inside the store – and when he’s leaving the building, the shooting victim returns fire, injuring the shooter.

The storefront to the wing shop shows visible signs of gunfire. There are three bullet holes in the glass – busted out from the shootout.

“I didn’t know what was going on. I just thought the guy was on the ground drunk or something. You know what I mean,” said Mario Marshall, who attempted to walk into the plaza, but was told to leave. “One of the guys in the store told me to get out.”

There is no word on the condition of the two people who were shot.

DeKalb police investigators spent several hours processing the scene, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.

One woman who stopped by the gas station on her way home from work overnight says she’s tired of the violence in her community.

“Frustrating. I mean this commnity, it happens over and over, and I live here. So, I don’t feel safe and it’s sad,” said Sheri Bratton.

I have witnessed spirited discussions over the merits of regional definitions of BBQ, but a gunfight over wings? Thanks, Gun Bunny.
