Gwinnett County police say around 2:30 p.m. a bystander called 911 to report someone had walked into the business and shot a woman who is in her 30s. 

"It's a possibility that the suspect may have been known to the victim and or the business itself," said Corp. Ryan Winderweedle with the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Investigators say it was too earlier in the investigation to determine if the shooting was targeted or not.
