ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A teenage girl was killed and another was injured in a shooting at Piedmont Park on Saturday night, according to Atlanta police.

The shooting prompted a large police response to the Midtown Atlanta park around 9 p.m., soon after a festival there celebrating the city’s 404 Day, which drew thousands of people, wrapped up.

Upon arrival, officers located two girls with gunshot wounds.

Paramedics pronounced one victim, a 16-year-old, dead at the scene. Her identity has not been released.

The second victim, a 15-year-old, was alert, conscious and breathing, and was taken to the hospital, police said.

Soon after the incident, a witness told Atlanta News First that hundreds of people took off running after dozens of shots were fired.

Police said the park’s permitted 404 Day festival concluded around 7:45 p.m.

“At this time, there is no information indicating that the shooting is connected to that event,” police said.

Instead, the department’s “preliminary investigation indicates the incident stemmed from an unpermitted gathering that occurred near the far west end of the park,” the opposite side of the park from where the festival was being held, police said.

Earlier, a witness told Atlanta News First there was also a “teen takeover” event in the park Saturday night.

Officers were seen gathered around Lake Clara Meer in the heart of the park.

Police shut down surrounding streets, and video captured an ambulance at 12th Street NE and Piedmont Avenue, at the southwest corner of the park.

Police have not announced suspects.
