Channel 2’s Bryan Mims spoke with a neighbor who said she knew Brown.
“It’s scary, it’s scary because it could be us. You know what I’m saying? It could have ricocheted. Then, to know it was a young girl, I would hope to know they didn’t mean to shoot her,” the neighbor said.
The two other victims were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. Their ages, identities and current conditions have not been released.
The suspects were booked into the Carroll County Jail.
The incident is still under investigation. Police are urging anyone with information about the shooting to contact them. Callers can remain anonymous by reaching out to 911 or the Carrollton Police Department at 770-834-4451.
