MARIETTA — Police in Marietta are looking for a black 2018 Honda believed to be driven by the suspects in Sunday’s shooting outside Andretti Indoor Karting and Games in Marietta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police, at about 7:10 p.m. Sunday night a group of suspects exited their vehicle, what appeared to be a black 2018 Honda Accord in the parking lot of Andretti at 1255 Roswell Road. One of the suspects approached a man who was walking from his vehicle toward the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say the suspect pointed a handgun at the man and demanded his jewelry and money. The man refused to comply and the suspect immediately fired at least two rounds, with neither round striking the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man, who was also armed, produced his handgun but did not return fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within one minute of the initial gun fire, a Marietta Police officer pulled into the parking lot in his marked police vehicle to report to work for a part-time security assignment at the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police, when the marked police vehicle entered the lot, the suspects fled the area in their vehicle. Witnesses stopped the officer and told him what had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
