Atlanta police said the four were watched by two men in a white car. One of them got out and pulled a gun on the group. They all gave up their cell phones and other valuables, including wallets.

The robber started walking back toward the getaway car, but one of the victims started to follow and that action sparked violence, according to police. The gunman turned and fired a shot, hitting the man.
