Gunfire outside a DeKalb McDonald's hit several cars but no people

Signs of a shooting outside a DeKalb County restaurant were visible on several vehicles Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Gunfire was first reported at the McDonald’s in the 3500 block of Flat Shoals Road around 4:35 p.m., DeKalb police spokesperson Blaine Clark said. Officials said they are now looking into the possibility that a fight between several people sparked the shooting.

Various vehicles outside the fast-food restaurant, as well as the building itself, were damaged, Clark said. No injuries have been reported.

Though Clark said the shots appear to have been fired outside, officials are still investigating where all the gunfire originated.

No information on those involved or what led to the incident was provided.
