DeKalb County police are investigating after four teenagers were found shot on the side of the road in the East Lake Terrace area after a house party.

Four teenagers were found shot along a busy road in DeKalb County on Saturday following a dispute at a house party earlier that evening, police said.

Officers were called around 11:15 p.m. to the 3300 block of Glenwood Road in the East Lake Terrace area, where they found a large group of teens on the side of the road, several of whom were injured. Police said two 15-year-old girls were each shot in the leg, a 16-year-old girl was shot in the arm, and a 17-year-old boy’s arm was grazed by a bullet. They were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.

After collecting evidence and speaking with witnesses, police said investigators learned the victims had been at a nearby party when they got into an altercation with another group of teens.

“The two groups separated and left, but while this group was waiting for a MARTA bus, individuals from the other group came back and fired several rounds from a moving vehicle,” police said.

No arrests have been made and the shooting remains under investigation, authorities said. Anyone with more information is asked to contact DeKalb police at 770-724-7850.
