New details indicate the group had been celebrating an 18th birthday at a nearby Airbnb in Jones County before being asked to leave. Upon relocating to the park, a confrontation occurred between the original group and a second group. Bibb County Sheriff David Davis stated the groups exchanged words and brandished firearms before a shootout erupted, lasting approximately 30 seconds. The number of wounded teenagers has risen to 12, with ages ranging from 17 to 19. The victims include five 17-year-old males, four 18-year-old males, two 18-year-old females, and one 19-year-old male.
