Two teenagers were shot in what police believe was a drive-by shooting early Wednesday near Greenbriar Mall in southwest Atlanta, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Crime scene technicians marked areas where at least 10 shell casings were scattered in the street.

Atlanta police Capt. Celeste Murphy told the television station three teenagers were inside a car at the intersection of Greenbriar Parkway and Headland Drive when someone in a silver car pulled up and fired multiple shots around 2 a.m.

Only two of the teens were hit. One was 17 years old. The other was 18 years old.

The driver sped off and went to a house on Jefferson Avenue in East Point, where first responders met the victims and rushed them to separate hospitals with non-life-threatening wounds to their arms.
