One person was killed and five others injured after an argument between two women escalated into a shooting at a convenience store in Atlanta.
A 19-year-old man died in the shooting at Star Discount Food while the wounded victims included two juveniles, one of whom was said to be in a critical condition.
According to Fox5 Atlanta, the dispute broke out in the store before an 'exchange of gunfire across the street' when two people fled across the road.
No arrests have been made, while all the injured people are being treated by hospital medics.

While all the wounded victims were breathing at the time they were found, one of them later died from his injuries, police said.
The red car was later recovered by police before investigators combed the scene for evidence and surveillance footage inside and outside the store.
Police say they have two witnesses, adding that some of the injured people may be suspects in the case.
One woman was briefly detained but then released without charge, with a $2,000 reward available for tipsters.
