Detectives said the couple were about to park in the driveway of their home on Commercial Avenue after 1 a.m. when someone drove up and started shooting.

"We had a white four door sedan... shooting at least four times,” said Atlanta Police Captain F. Turner.

The bullets pierced the car and shattered the driver side window.

Police said the shooter was upset when he couldn't drive around the couple's car.
