CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. — Two people were shot, including a 16-year-old girl, after gunfire broke out inside a Carroll County gated community on Monday night.
According to the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, it happened at the Fairfield Plantation development along Northgate Drive.
Deputies were called in just before midnight, and reported discovering "two individuals suffering from gun shot wounds, a 16 year-old female, and a 20 year-old male."
The teenage girl was sent to a hospital in Atlanta, while the 20-year-old refused treatment at the scene.
There was no immediate word about the condition of the girl.
"According to preliminary reports a group of young adults/teens were hanging out when shots rang out from two possible individuals," a statement from the sheriff's office said. "Investigators have worked through the night and are continuing to interview and gather evidence that could assist in positively identifying the suspects."
The Fairfield Plantation homes are about 10 miles south of Villa Rica, along Treasure Lake.
The sheriff's office added in its statement:
