Multiple businesses along a busy DeKalb County road were shot at early Monday morning, according to Brookhaven police.
Officers were called to the area of Buford Highway a quarter-mile west of North Druid Hills Road around 5:45 a.m. They found multiple shell casings in a parking lot and in the road between the Sun Tan shopping center and a Shell gas station, police said.
No injuries were reported, but the windows of a Waffle House and a nearby dentist office were shattered. A bullet hole was also seen in the door of a Mercedes parked outside an auto repair shop next door.
