Two innocent drivers were shot at early Saturday morning when someone opened fire on a Lamborghini on I-75 in downtown Atlanta.
The two drivers, who were not believed to be the intended targets, and three occupants of the Lamborghini all took gunfire, but only four were wounded, according to Atlanta police. Their conditions were not released Saturday.
“Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an altercation earlier in the evening between the occupants of the Lamborghini and another group, and the investigation is continuing,” Atlanta police said in a statement.
Officers responded to a report of a person shot on I-75 at Langford Parkway at 12:40 a.m. A woman in a pickup truck was taken to the hospital. Later, three other victims — a man and two women in the Lamborghini — drove themselves to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
A fifth person called 911 and reported his vehicle also took gunfire on I-75, but he was not wounded, police said.
No suspects had been identified Saturday, and police have not released a description of their vehicle.
