Two 21-year-old men were wounded early Friday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.

Police responded to a call about gunshots exchanged between two groups at a large party in Kennesaw about 1 a.m., Chilton said.

That shooting was at the Stadium Village Apartments in the 3000 block of Hidden Forest Court, which is about 3 miles from the location of Saturday night’s shooting.
