Covington police Friday were investigating a late-morning drive-by shooting.

Just before noon, crime scene tape surrounded the Pure station on Ga. 81, where a silver pickup truck appeared to have slammed into one of the gas pump islands.

Covington police Capt. Ken Malcolm confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that one person inside the vehicle had been shot and that preliminary reports were that the shots were fired into the truck from another vehicle.

Malcolm did not have a condition on the person shot.
