Multiple businesses hit by gunfire on Buford Highway, officers say

According to police, there are no victims and no shooter was located.

BROOKHAVEN, Ga. — Multiple businesses were shot up overnight in Brookhaven, according to DeKalb County Police.

Officers said they initially received a call about shots fired on Buford Highway just before 6 a.m. When they arrived, they said they found bullets had hit a Waffle House and dental office nearby. 

Multiple shell casings were also found in the parking lot and roadway. In addition, two cars were also hit by the gunfire at Atlanta Car Care dealership. The barrage of bullets can be heard in the businesses' surveillance video, a hopeful clue for police to track down who fired the shots.

According to police, there are no victims and no shooter was located. However, they do believe the incident stemmed from two groups who were shooting at each other.

For those who work in the area, the news is still concerning.

Adriana Pastrana works at Gordon Family Dentistry and arrived to see shattered glass littering the entrance. She said the whole scene was a mess.

"We didn't know if we had to take a day off and this is what we depend on. This is our job," she stated. "It's a little scary and concerning."

She along with other business owners spent much of Monday cleaning up and assessing the damage from the gunfire. Pastrana said despite the damage, the office plans to continue seeing patients saying the damage was limited to the front.

Those with any information on the incident are asked to contact Brookhaven Police or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
