Marietta Police responded to reports of gunfire at around 10 pm Wednesday at the Lakeside at Town Center apartments on Williams Drive. According to investigators, at least two men were shot. They were treated at a nearby hospital and later released.

Several nearby homes and vehicles were also damaged as a result of the gunfire.

Witnesses saw the suspects flee the scene in a black BMW sedan. Officers spotted the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Instead, the driver sped off, leading police on a chase until the car struck a power pole near the intersection of Polk Street and Mountain View Road.

All of the suspects now face multiple felony charges, including Felony Aggravated Assault with Intent to Murder and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime.
