Apparently an argument broke out between two parties and someone opened fire, investigators said. “It appears there were two separate groups that were targeting each other, and these people were just caught in the crossfire.”

Atlanta police Capt. William Ricker told WSB-TV. Of the four women hit, two are believed from Spellman College and the other 2 are from Clark Atlanta.

Unfortunately the shooters managed to escape in the midst of the chaos and as of this morning had still not been captured.
