One dead, one injured in shooting after Gainesville concert, police say

Gainesville police found one person dead and another injured after a shooting late Friday.

Officers came across a person suffering from a gunshot wound shortly after 10 p.m. after a First Friday concert, police said in a statement posted on social media. Officers were patrolling the Midland area when they encountered the person. They were alerted to another nearby shooting victim while “performing life-saving measures.”

The initial victim was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center and later died. The second was also transported to the hospital, but with “non-life threatening injuries.”

A Gainesville police spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Police have not released information about the identities of potential suspects or the victims.
