A tragic incident startled the residents of Atlanta recently when a 15-year-old girl was shot dead at a birthday party that was attended by hundreds of high school students.
According to reports from local media outlets, the horrifying incident unfolded when one of the partygoers had been kicked out of the party but he chose to return with his accomplice and conducted the horrifying crime of firing rounds at aimed targets.
The victim was identified as 15-year-old Laila Harris whom the cops claim turned out to be the misfortunate target of the shooting.
While she was busy taking pictures and enjoying herself with her friends, the sudden sounds of bullets fired into the air took center stage and she was believed to have been killed at that moment.
“It just so tragic how this young woman died. She was doing what other 15-year-old go out to do and that is having fun. It’s one of the most heartbreaking and senseless tragedies that we’ve come recently”- the cops continued to mention.
It was shocking to hear the cops mention how this particular shooting incident was the second one to take place on that particular day in Atlanta and that’s why the authorities are on the strict alert to try and figure out the reason for the sudden rise in gun violence in the area.
Authorities have on to detail about how a GoFundMe account has been set up in honor of the teenager. This is so her body can be transported back to her hometown for the final rituals.
