A man was shot at a DeKalb County apartment complex while dropping off a co-worker Sunday when someone opened fire from a balcony, police said.

DeKalb officers arrived at the complex on Flat Shoals Road in the Panthersville area around 5 a.m. and found a 28-year-old man sitting in a Dodge Charger that had crashed into the building, according to police.

The victim had a gunshot wound to his shoulder that was not life-threatening and was taken to a hospital, police said. He told investigators he had given a co-worker a ride home when another person shot him.

Police did not say if the victim was the intended target.
