BARNESVILLE, Ga. — A triple shooting left one dead and two injured near a Georgia police station on Tuesday evening.

Barnesville Police Chief Belinda Penamon told Channel 2′s Candace McCowan that officers at the station on Mill Street heard gunshots around 6 p.m. and ran a street over to find three people shot in a car.
