Vienna, Georgia mass shooting leaves two dead and 35 injured

A mass shooting occurred during an unofficial homecoming block party in Vienna, Georgia, in the early hours of Sunday, October 4, 2026. The incident, which took place around 1:25 a.m. on Pine Street, involved gunfire directed at a crowd of more than 1,000 people. Authorities reported that shots were fired from at least two separate locations approximately one block apart.

Two men, identified as 20-year-old Ja’Quavion Aderious Jackson and 23-year-old Macaleb Malik Jackson, were killed at the scene. At least 35 people were injured, with ages ranging from 14 to 51. Many victims sustained gunshot wounds, while others were injured by vehicles during the ensuing panic and stampede. At least 25 individuals were transported to regional hospitals, including Crisp Regional Hospital.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is leading the investigation alongside Dooly County authorities. While law enforcement was present in the area to monitor the crowd when the shooting began, no suspects have been arrested and a motive has not yet been established. Local officials noted that the event was not organized or sponsored by the Dooly County school system.
