Two men were in critical condition late Sunday after suffering gun shots at a Buford Highway apartment building.

The shooting occurred around 9 p.m. and may have resulted from an argument involving a third man who entered the Tempo Majestic Apartments at 3659 Buford Highway, said DeKalb County Police Department spokesman Ofc. Jason Gagnon.

The victims were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, and the suspect fled on foot. Gagnon did not identify the victims, but said they may have known their shooter.
