A 23-year-old man was killed Friday afternoon when a fight at a Stone Mountain home led to a shooting, DeKalb County police said.

People inside the home — including the alleged shooters — fled the scene when shots rang out about 1 p.m., DeKalb police Lt. Lonzy Robertson said.

Witnesses told Channel 2 Action News they heard four shots and saw three teens running from the shooting scene in the 5300 block of Megan Road, which is near Redan and Panola roads.
