Commanders on scene called those responsible "horrible," and asked for witnesses with information to come forward "for the sake of the victims."
Police said they responded to the scene at 6:50 p.m., after reports of shooting outside the home. Authorities on the scene said there were numerous people outside the home and children playing in a bounce house, when a vehicle drove up to the scene, and people started an argument; officers said gunfire erupted and at least a dozen shots were fired, but could not immediately give details as to who was responsible or how many weapons were present.
Witnesses said a silver vehicle fled the scene. Authorities said a lookout was placed for a silver vehicle, but could not provide a detailed description of the car.
FOX 5 News was able to confirm a 3-year-old, a 5-year-old and an adult in their 20s were admitted to Southern Regional Hospital, which was placed on a temporary lockdown upon their arrival.
Police said the 3-year old and 5-year-old were later transported to Children Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
