A GBI news release said an investigation indicates a group attempted to rob a house that was primarily used to sell illegal drugs.
During the incident, a man inside the home and the group exchanged gunfire. One person was shot in the leg, taken to an area hospital, and later released.
Another person was airlifted to a regional hospital and is currently in critical condition.
