DeKalb County police have taken out arrest warrants against multiple suspects in a shooting that injured two people at an apartment complex Thursday afternoon.

Officers responded to the Eagles Run Apartments on Bouldercrest Road and found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds, DeKalb police spokeswoman Officer Elise Wells said. Both were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officials later identified them as 18-year-old Tyrek Hunter and 19-year-old Asia Hunter.

The shooting suspects are known to police, but officials have not released their identities. No further information about the circumstances of the shooting has been released.
