Police are looking for the person who shot and critically injured two men at a DeKalb County gas station.

About 8:30 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to a persons shot call at the Marathon gas station in the 3200 block of Glenwood Road and found Devarian Rutherford, 21, and Calvin Barthalo, 27, wounded, DeKalb police Maj. Stephen Fore said Monday.

Investigators later determined the shooting took place at a BP gas station in the 1700 block of Candler Road and the injured men sped away from the scene.

According to Fore, the men got into an argument with an unknown male prior to the shooting. The men were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in serious but stable condition.

Police are looking at surveillance video from the gas station to learn more about what happened.
