DeKalb County resident Shakana Ryan says she passed by the scene just as the investigation was starting.

"We literally were driving by and we were like, ‘Oh my gosh, what’s going on?' We thought the car just ran into the bus," she said. "We get out here, and we see there's crime scene investigators. There's a body in the car. What's going on?"

At least one car was hit by gunfire with bullet holes in the windshield and on the passenger-side door.
