ATLANTA — More than half a dozen people were injured early Sunday when a man pulled out a gun during a fight in downtown Athens, Georgia, and opened fire into a crowd.
Athens police are still looking for 21-year-old Pharoah Devonell Williams, who they say started shooting during a dispute in the area of East Clayton and North Jackson streets.
Seven people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the incident, which happened about 2 a.m., according to Athens police spokesman Lt. Shaun Barnett.
Authorities said a group of people were involved in a “large fight,” but did not specify how the conflict started.
Police have not said how Williams was identified as a suspect, but said he is considered “armed and dangerous.”
“Williams currently has numerous arrests warrants stemming from this incident,” Barnett said.
