WASHINGTON — The shooting occurred early Sunday at a private venue in South Tacoma, where a large crowd was gathering.
A Texas trail ride, a barbecue in New York City and a stone bridge in Minneapolis were among the settings for at least 10 mass shootings that erupted across the country between Friday and late Sunday, marking the fifth consecutive weekend U.S. law enforcement officers have responded to multiple incidents, each involving four or more victims shot.
Police officers were patrolling an entertainment district of Blakely, a small southwest Georgia city of about 5,000 residents, when they heard numerous gunshots around 12:45 a.m., the Blakely Police Department said in a statement. The officers rushed to the gunfire, found several victims suffering from gunshot wounds and began providing first aid, police said.
A barrage of gunfire erupted during an argument that broke out in an alley behind the venue, according to police. Police said the victims were standing on a street corner at the intersection of Madison and Essex streets when gunfire broke out. A preliminary investigation showed a shooting initially erupted after a fight broke out near the event's concert stage.
"We're going to do everything we can to bring justice to that family and to the other victims in this case," Pittsylvania County Sheriff Mike Taylor said at a news conference.
