A security guard at a Dunwoody restaurant was shot Saturday night after a couple tried to leave without paying their bill, police said.
The 911 call came in about a person being shot at the Sage Woodfire Tavern on Ashford Dunwoody Road just before 11 p.m., Dunwoody police spokesperson Sgt. Michael Cheek said.
Details are limited, but Cheek said that a man and a woman attempted to leave without paying, and a security guard tried to stop them. A brief fight ensued, and the guard was shot in the hand and shoulder.
The couple then ran away.
The victim was described as stable and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.
No additional information has been released. Police have not said if they have identified the suspects.
