DeKalb County Police are investigating a shooting early Monday at a Bouldercrest Road gas station.

Police responded to a report of a man shot at the Pilot truck stop, off I-285.

The driver of a tractor trailer truck was wounded in the arm during an attempted robbery, police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said Monday.

Parish said a man and a woman attempted to rob the driver in the cab of the truck. They fled the scene and were arrested in a nearby area, Parish said.

The names of the suspects and charges against them were not immediately available.
