Two people were killed and a third was critically injured in a Paulding County shooting, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday.

Shortly before 11 p.m. Monday, a 911 caller reported a shooting on Chesapeake Way near Rockmart in the Sunset Mountain neighborhood, according to Sgt. Ashley Henson with the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office.

The caller said two people had come to the home to meet with three others, Henson said.

“For reasons not yet known, the victims were shot and the two other individuals then left the residence,” Henson said in an emailed statement.

The names of those involved in the shooting have not been released pending notification of family members.
