Seven males and two females were hurt, police said. As of Saturday afternoon, at least four had been discharged from hospitals where they were treated, Blackmon said.Blackmon urged parents in the community to "know where your children are and what they have in their possession."
"We must work toward helping communicate to our children how to peacefully resolve conflict without resorting to gun violence," he said. "I’m so grateful to God that we didn’t have anyone lose their life," Mayor B.H. "Skip" Henderson III said. "I’m tired of seeing folks having a disagreement or argument or maybe even a fistfight who then think they have to reach for a gun. That’s just got to stop. We’ve got to find a way in the community to reclaim our young people."
No arrests have been made, and Blackmon did not indicate whether detectives have pinpointed any suspects. Columbus is located about 110 miles southwest of Atlanta and about 85 miles east of Montgomery, Alabama.that I have read and agree
