Who opened fire at Mechanicsville reunion?
Atlanta police are asking for help finding out who opened fire after the annual Mechanicsville neighborhood reunion over the weekend. Five people were shot, including three teenagers and a woman who is still in critical condition.
Five people were shot. The victims include a 17-year-old girl, a 16-year-old boy, a 15-year-old boy, and a 33-year-old woman. The most seriously injured is a 29-year-old woman who remains in critical condition as of last week. Officials have not shared an update on her condition.
After the shooting, one witness told FOX 5 that some people in the crowd had heard that there had been threats made before the reunion.
"There was going to be a shooting. We already heard that, it was already mentioned that there was going to be a shooting," witness Durell Jackson said. "So, they was telling a lot of people, 'Don't come.' This is the last reunion out of all the reunions, so this is one of the biggest ones in Atlanta, Georgia. We have it every year."
