11 Teens Wounded at Georgia Park Birthday Gathering
The sheriff’s office said the victims included 17- and 18-year-olds.
Eleven teenagers were shot around midnight overnight Sunday at Carolyn Crayton Park in Macon, Georgia, authorities said. The victims were five 17-year-old boys, four 18-year-old men and two 18-year-old women. One boy and one man were in critical condition; the remaining victims were stable.
The gathering was believed to be a birthday celebration that began at an Airbnb in Jones County. The host asked the group to leave, and the party later moved to the park. Several students from Central High School and Northeast High School were among those attending.
Investigators said a second group came to the park, where a dispute between the groups grew into gunfire. Everyone hurt was part of the birthday gathering. No one had been arrested, and authorities continued working the case. The FBI joined the investigation because of the number of people involved, although officials said the evidence so far pointed to a local incident.
