DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Police say a man opened fire on a group of men he said tried to rob him at a drive-in fast food restaurant.

Local media report the man told police he was sitting in his car outside a Sonic restaurant on Flat Shoals Parkway in DeKalb County Sunday night when a group of men walked up to his car. A man with a gun demanded money.

Police say the man in the car pulled out his own gun and shot one of the men, who fell to the ground. The suspect was taken to the hospital.

The men in the group fled on foot, but police were able to catch two of them. Police were still seeking a fourth suspect.
