Atlanta police officials tell FOX 5 that they were called to the gas station at around 12:30 a.m. after reports of a person shot.

At the scene, officers found a man who had been shot multiple times.

Investigators say the man was at the gas station with his girlfriend when another man walked up to him and fired shots - hitting him multiple times. The gunmen then fled in a what appeared to be a red sedan.
