COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Authorities in Georgia confirmed Saturday that nine people under the age of 18, including a 5 year old, were wounded after shots rang out at a gas station. Officers from the Columbus Police Department responded at about 10 p.m. Friday and found multiple gunshot victims amid a large group of people. Police Chief Freddie Blackmon told reporters Saturday that an early investigation shows an altercation apparently happened at a party nearby and it spilled over to the gas station where gunfire erupted. Police say the victims ranged in age from 5 to 17. Blackmon said at least four had been discharged from the treating facilities. Authorities said the injuries all appeared non-life threatening. No arrests have been made.
