Villa Rica police officers responded to the shooting call about 6:30 p.m. at the Hampton Court Apartments on Industrial Boulevard, according to a statement from the department. A group had gathered outside the apartment building when a suspect began firing in their direction.

Two people were struck and were taken to an Atlanta hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A third person was injured when one of the bullets passed through the wall of his apartment. He was treated at the scene but refused further medical attention, police said.
