Several teenagers were shot dead in what police described as a shooting near an apartment complex in southwest Atlanta on Saturday night.

A 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy were killed, and several other victims, as young as 11, were hospitalized.

Atlanta Deputy Police Chief Charles Hampton Jr. said the shooting began as an argument on social media that escalated into a shooting when a group of teenagers armed with firearms entered the apartment complex.

He said: “I hate talking about kids and gunshots here.

“All we ask is that parents know where their children are, know what they are doing, check rooms.

“There are just too many guns in the hands of our youth.

“As I said a few weeks ago, this should be a time when we are getting ready for the holidays, but we have at least two families who will be planning funerals.”

A separate shooting across state in Valdosta on Saturday also resulted in the deaths of two people and two others were hospitalized.

A man was also hospitalized with serious injuries after the shooting, which occurred around 3:30 a.m. Saturday in South Phoenix.

The man who reportedly shot him ran from the scene before police arrived, and witnesses told police there was a scuffle between the victim and the alleged suspect before he opened fire.
