Saturday morning attack occurred in the shopping center's parking lot, and police are looking for two suspects.

Gwinnett County Police are looking for two suspects who shot a man and robbed another outside a Stone Mountain Walmart around 2:50 a.m Saturday morning. 

The suspects, both black males, were armed with a semi-automatic handgun, possibly a .40 calibre Glock, according to a police statement. They approached two separate shoppers in the parking lot, shooting one, a 35-year-old male, in the leg when "he did not understand their demands and continued to walk towards the store," the report said.

The other victim, a 20-year-old-male, handed over his keys, wallet and cell phone. The suspects took his car and left the scene. That vehicle is described as a blue 2010 Honda Fit with Georgia tag PFE8356.
