A man was arrested after two people were shot at a DeKalb County business Saturday morning.

The incident happened around 11 a.m. inside a business in the 4800 block of Rockbridge Road.

DeKalb police said two employees got into a dispute inside the establishment before a third person “got involved.” Officials said they all knew each other.

“Over the course of this morning’s argument, investigators learned two of the three parties produced guns and started shooting,” police said.

During the gunfire, police said two people not connected to the incident were struck. The victims, who were in their 60s, were taken to a hospital with “serious” injuries and were said to be alert.

Police crowded the parking lot of an Ingles at the corner of Rockbridge and Hairston roads, and police tape blocked an entrance to the grocery store, according to Channel 2 Action News.

On Saturday night, police confirmed that 47-year-old Quincy Mitchell was arrested in connection with the shooting. He was booked into the county jail on charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to online records.

No other details were released about what led to the shooting.
