Channel 2′s Christian Jennings was at the scene Friday, where a gas station worker showed her surveillance video. The video showed the car pulling up at the intersection and flagging down an Atlanta Police officer for help.

The car had shattered windows and flat tires.

“At this time, it appears they may have been driving when this happened, but again since we don’t know the original crime scene location, that’s why we’re asking for any information,” Atlanta Police Lt. April White said.

Investigators are questioning a fourth person who was in the car but wasn’t hurt. They’re hoping he can help them figure out what happened and who is responsible.

Anyone with information is asked to call Atlanta Police.
