ATLANTA — Two people are dead and six others injured after a house party attended by more than 100 teenagers erupted in gunfire late Saturday night in Douglas County, according to officials.
A confrontation is what led up to the shooting, the sheriff’s office confirmed in a statement Sunday. The party, which was a “Sweet 16,” took place on Sitka Drive near Douglasville around 11 p.m., authorities told Channel 2 Action News.
Aereal Gardner, who lives next door, told Channel 2 that she and her family suddenly heard gunshots and ducked for cover in their own home.
