Three people were shot and one person was stabbed at a DeKalb County townhome complex Wednesday, police said.

The incident happened at Old Highgate Entry off North Hairston Road, Major Jerry Lewis said.

“There was some kind of dispute that escalated to a fight and then gunshots,” Lewis said. He thinks the dispute was from outside the shooting location.

“At this time, this is an isolated incident and no arrests were made at this time.”

One of the people shot is in critical condition, according to Lewis. The others, including the stabbing victim, are in moderate condition.

No arrests have been made.

“We are quickly trying to determine who the primary aggressof was,” Lewis said.
