DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. –
A shooting in Georgia killed two teenagers at a house party of more than 100 people Saturday, and injured six others, authorities said.
Investigators have been piecing together what happened at the Douglasville home. No one has been arrested for this incident and it is not clear if there are more than one person who committed this incident.
Trent Wilson, captain of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, told The Associated Press that the shooting happened between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m. Saturday. He asked potential witnesses to provide more information about how the shooting started and who is responsible.
“We know that there was a house party where there were more than 100 young people. There was a confrontation that resulted in the death of two people and the injury of six people due to gunfire. Information is very limited at this time,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s office said in a statement posted on social media Sunday morning.
Wilson declined to release the names of the two dead, but said they were under the age of 18.
Douglasville is just over 20 miles (32 km) west of Atlanta, the capital of Georgia.
