Two Shot Near Lawrenceville Sonic

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — Two people were wounded Tuesday in a shooting in a Lawrenceville parking lot.

Gwinnett County Police were dispatched to the Five Oaks Village shopping plaza on Tuesday afternoon in response to reported gunshots. As the officers were arriving on the scene, police say, two people showed up at Eastside Medical Center in Snellville with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.

One person remained at the scene of the shooting.

Police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said not all witnesses have been cooperative with investigators, but that detectives determined the two victims and another person were in the parking lot near a Sonic restaurant.

The driver of an SUV parked near them and a passenger in the SUV pulled a firearm and began shooting at the victims, police say.

The SUV then drove away. The reason for the shooting remains under investigation and there have been no charges filed as of yet, Pihera said.
