Three men were shot and injured at a park east of Atlanta on Saturday, officials tell local news outlets.

The three men were sitting in a car at a park in Covington when four other men approached, Newton County sheriff’s deputies said.

One man tried to run and was shot in the leg, WAGA-TV reports. The other two who were shot remained in the car.

The two men still in the car drove to Conyers, where one was transported by helicopter to a hospital from the parking lot of a supermarket.
