DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police in DeKalb County are searching for a suspect or suspects after a deadly triple shooting at a gas station strip mall Saturday night. 

It happened just after 7 p.m. in the 1200 block of Panola Road near the intersection of Redan Road, roughly six miles east of Interstate 285.

Photos from 11Alive's crew on scene show police concentrated around a Chevron gas station, which is blocked off with crime tape. 

According to DeKalb police, officers responded to the scene after getting reports of a person shot. When they got there, they found a man dead in the parking lot from several gunshot wounds. Two other people -- a 22-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman -- were also shot. EMS transported them to the hospital where their injuries, a shot to the leg and a shot to the torso, are reportedly not life-threatening. 

Police are still investigating the incident but said initial information shows a car pulled up to one or more of the victims before someone fired off several shots from inside; the suspects drove off from the scene and police are now looking for them.

Detectives have since responded to the scene to look for more clues. 11Alive has a crew on the scene and is working to gather more details.
