2 men killed after shooting in DeKalb County

Two people were found dead Friday evening after a shooting in DeKalb County, police said.

At around 7:20 p.m., officers were called to the 3000 block of Rainbow Drive in Panthersville for a report of a person being shot. At the scene, a man was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds, authorities said.

Witnesses told police that a man involved in the incident left the scene in a black sedan. That vehicle was at some point involved in a crash on Candler Road near I-20, and the driver was found with at least one gunshot wound, officials said. He, too, was pronounced dead.

Neither man has been publicly identified.

Authorities did not say whether anyone else was involved in the shooting or what might have led to it.
