ATLANTA (AP) -- Norcross police say three men were beaten and robbed and a gunfight broke out in Norcross in what investigators call a drug deal gone bad.

Authorities said four men went to a Norcross home Friday. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that three men went inside to complete the deal, while a fourth man stayed outside.

Police said the men were robbed upon entering the home. While the robbery was in progress, the fourth man got into a fight outside with another person. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and called police. Authorities said they are continuing their investigation.
