Two Killed, Nearly 35 Injured in South Georgia Party Shooting

A large party took place in Vienna, Georgia, during a high school homecoming weekend.

Early Sunday, gunfire broke out in at least two places near the party.

More than 1,000 people had gathered there, and officials said more than 50 shots were fired.

Two men died, and nearly 35 people were injured.

The injured ranged in age from 14 to 51, and some were in critical condition.

Reports gave different ages for one of the men who died: 20 in one account and 21 in another.

The party was not organized by the school.

Schools planned to open Monday with extra safety measures.

Investigators had not announced a motive or any arrests.
