Five Morehouse College students, including two members of the basketball team, drove to a Zaxby’s in northeast Atlanta for a late-night food run last week.

According to a police incident report obtained by AJC.com, the incident happened just before 10:45 p.m. Wednesday near the Zaxby’s at 425 Ponce de Leon Avenue. The students were in a white Dodge Charger. The car was sprayed with bullets as they pulled onto Parkway Drive, the report said. Police are searching for multiple shooters, one of whom stood in the middle of the road to shoot at the vehicle.

I never heard of the restaurant chain but looked it up and it seems to specialize in chicken. Its been a rough few days for blacks and chicken restaurants. Maybe they should do out for pizza or burgers instead.

From what I’ve read, Atlanta is the new Chicago...in demographics and crime.

So I guess there is no description of the guy standing in the street shooting a pistol...but LE is “seeking” him. For a date, I’d imagine.

Atlanta is a majority black city run by black Democrats. What more do you need to know as to why this crap happens. The mayor is a black female. The chief of police is an openly gay female. I’m sure she was given the position because of her competence. Political Correctness anyone?

Perhaps the shooter who fired while standing in the street was a white man, and the AJC isn't giving any specifics about his appearance because they don't want to inflame racist feelings against Caucasians.

Oh, can’t be. Don’t you watch HGTV Househunters? Atlanta (and Toronto) are THE places to live! Great nightlife, culture, shopping...they’ve got it ALL! (Gag, barf, and puke!)

It is a Southern regional restaurant. It's great. Just has me some this past weekend.

This is likely black-on-black violence, meaning it will not make national news. Doesn't fit the template.

It was a white vehicle.

Does that make it a hate crime?

It was the 'white' vehicle that got shot up, so no hate crime.
