A shooting at Atlanta park resulted in two deaths, three with injuries, and a six-year-old child in critical condition, on Aug. 7.
The six-year-old child was transported to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta - Egleston Hospital for treatment, where he was diagnosed with critical injuries.
Rashad Rogers, 31, and April Sparks, 33, succumbed to fatal gun wounds and were pronounced dead. The other three victims were said to be "stable."
Hampton said an altercation from a ball game at Rosa L. Burney Park escalated tensions and instigated the tragic incident.
Hampton also told people to use alternative ways to settle disagreements.
“As we’ve said countless times, we’re just asking the citizens just to find a way to resolve conflict without weapons,” Hampton said. “We’re just asking people to, you know, step away. We’re asking people just to let bygones be bygones.”
Authorities have not released information about the identification of the potential suspect at large. Arrests connected to the shooting have not yet been made.
