ATLANTA — Gunfire scattered a crowd of mourners gathered outside a DeKalb County, Georgia, apartment complex Sunday night to remember an 18-year-old killed Friday in a shooting.
When the bullets stopped, a 17-year-old boy was dead, according to DeKalb police. Two other boys, a 16-year-old and 11-year-old, were injured.
They were attending a candlelight vigil at the Highlands at East Atlanta complex on Flat Shoals Road when the shooting broke out at about 6:20 p.m., police spokesman Lt. Shane Smith said in a statement. Responding officers found the 17-year-old and 16-year-old victims at the scene, but the 11-year-old went to a nearby Walmart in Gresham Road for help, Smith said.
