Girl hit by car while fleeing gunshots at Clayton County party
A teenage girl was hit by a car after gunshots were fired outside a Clayton County party Saturday night. The driver fled, authorities said.
Channel 2 Action News reported that the victim, a juvenile, was outside the Rendezvous Events Center on Forest Parkway when "several fights" broke out among attendees of a party. Gunshots were reportedly fired at security guards attempting to break up the fights, and the girl was fleeing across the roadway when she was hit by the car.
Channel 2 said the victim was in stable condition, but police were still searching Sunday for car that hit her. That vehicle was described only as a small, silver four-door car that may have front-end damage or a cracked windshield.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Lake City Police Department at 404-675-6900 or 770-961-4000.
No one was believed to be hit by the gunshots fired at the party, authorities said.
