The incident occurred amidst a chaotic scene on Saturday, where Cobb County police were called to assist park police with crowd control. Reports indicate that over 500 individuals were engaged in running and fighting within the park, culminating in gunfire.
According to authorities, the situation unfolded as park security sought to manage an unruly crowd of 500 to 600 people. As efforts were made to clear the park, additional altercations erupted, escalating the chaos. Cobb County police found themselves under fire as they attempted to restore order, leading to an officer discharging their weapon and injuring a 15-year-old, who is currently in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. A handgun was reportedly discovered near the minor.
