ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - DeKalb County police said two people were fatally shot during a gathering at a house early Saturday morning.

Police said a 23-year-old man was killed at the house on Brandenberry Drive in Panthersville.

A 21-year-old man, who went to the hospital for a gunshot wound, later died, according to police.

Police said they believe the home is an Airbnb-type property. The woman who owns the rental property said someone at the home called her around 2 a.m. saying they felt unsafe.

Police said neighbors called the property owner when they heard gunshots.

Neighbors reportedly saw several cars leave during the get-together. There’s no word yet on how many people were at the house.
