ATLANTA — Two people have now been charged after shots rang out during a birthday party at a Covington park.
The incident happened on Sunday at Academy Springs Park.
Police said a man and the mother of his child got into an argument during the party, and it continued to escalate over the person the man brought with him to the birthday party.
That’s when officers said another man opened fire on two of the people as they were trying to leave the party, forcing them to take cover behind a car that ended up being hit twice by bullets.
