Six people, including two children, were shot during a large gathering at Rawson-Washington Park not far from the state Capitol early Saturday evening, police said.
None of the injuries are life-threatening, Atlanta police spokesman Curtis Davenport said. Among those injured: a one-year-old boy, shot in the foot.
Two people have been charged in connection with the incident, but not with an actual shooting, Davenport said.
The shooting took place a little after 8 p.m. near the old Capitol Homes project. Channel 2 Action News reports that the gathering was a reunion of former Capitol Homes tenants.
Three handguns were recovered at the scene and are being tested, Channel 2 said.
Tiffany Walker, 27, has been charged with reckless conduct, while Justin Ushery, 23, has been charged with reckless conduct and obstruction. Walker is being held on a $1,000 bond. Ushery's bond is $2,000. Both are in the Fulton County Jail.
The investigation is continuing.
