Two people were killed and six others injured in a shooting at a house party in Douglas County, Georgia, attended by more than 100 teenagers on Saturday, police said.
Officials said the shooting stemmed from a confrontation at the house party in Douglasville, a town about 20 miles west of Atlanta.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) asked anyone with information about the attacker to contact their office because information about the incident was “very limited,” the agency said in a release.
Wounded partygoers were seen in neighboring yards after the shooting, according to CNN affiliate WXIA. The owner of the home told WXIA that they threw a Sweet 16 party for their daughter and ended the party at 10:00 p.m., claiming some of the attendees had smoked marijuana.
It’s unclear if adults were present at the time of the shooting, which WXIA says took place on a cul-de-sac in front of the home.
DCSO said the incident remains a “very active investigation”.
