Fulton County police are looking for the gunmen who opened fire, shooting a man in College Park. They are questioning a witness they think may have information on the shooting.

Investigators said it happened at 7 p.m. Saturday on Baxley Court off of Kimberly Mill Road. They said a group of men were standing around inside a cul-de-sac when three cars pulled up.

Police said there was an argument between the men in the cars and the men on the street, and shots were fired.

Authorities said, as a result, 26-year-old Rodriguez Aldridge was shot in the face and chest, and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. They said his condition is stable.

Investigators are trying to figure out what happened. They are talking to the witness and attempting to get description of the gunman or at least detailed descriptions of the gunman's car.

Police are asking the public to call Fulton County Police Department if they have any information about the shooting.
