Car slams into home after police say driver was shot

An SUV slammed into an Atlanta home Thursday afternoon after someone shot the driver in the back.

Police said it started with a fight between a group of men on North Avenue. When neighbors jumped in to fight, investigators said three of the men decided it was time to go and they hopped in a Ford Explorer.

They did not get far before investigators said someone opened fire, hitting the driver of the SUV twice in the back.

The Explorer crashed into the porch of a home.

The driver was taken to the hospital and two other men were detained for questioning.

The names of those involved have not yet been released.
