Sheriff: 12 teens wounded in a shootout at a birthday party
Investigators say two groups exchanged words and fired at each other after a birthday gathering moved to the park, leaving two teens in critical condition.
- Early Sunday morning, 11 teenagers were shot during a birthday gathering at Carolyn Crayton Park in Macon, with two victims remaining in critical condition and nine others stable, according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.
- Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said the party originated at an Airbnb in Jones County before organizers relocated the group to the park. A second group arrived, prompting an argument that escalated into gunfire.
- Among the wounded were four 18-year-old males, five 17-year-old males, and two 18-year-old females, authorities reported. One 18-year-old male and one 17-year-old male remain in critical condition.
- Investigators have made no arrests and are currently interviewing teenage witnesses, according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office. Deputies are coordinating with the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to assist.
- Authorities are examining potential links between this incident and an earlier shooting on Anthony Road that injured five people earlier this week. Officials urge anyone with information to contact the Bibb County Sheriff's Office at 478-751-7500.
