Three men were shot outside a Henry County shopping center Wednesday night, according to authorities.
One of the men then ran to a nearby Popeyes looking for help, Stockbridge police said.
Officials said they got a call around 9 p.m. about shots fired in the parking lot of a Dollar General store on North Henry Boulevard near the intersection with Lake Spivey Parkway. The area is near I-675.
When officers arrived, they found two men sitting in a Pontiac with gunshot wounds, police spokesperson Maj. Ron Momon said. Moments later, they got a report of a third man who had crossed Lake Spivey Parkway to get to the fast-food restaurant.
All of the men were described as alert and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where they “are being watched closely by officers,” Momon said.
The men’s relationship to each other is not clear. Details about what led to the shooting have not been released.
