As many as 600 teenagers, most of them black, rioted Saturday night at Six Flags Over Georgia. At least one teen was shot.
Cobb County officers said between 500-600 teens were “running through the park and fighting.” At one point the crowd opened fire on officers as they ran onto Six Flags Parkway.
At some point, “multiple people began shooting, hitting an unoccupied CCPD marked patrol car,” according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
“As officers identified where the shots were coming from, they ran after people who had run into the woods. During the incident, one CCPD officer fired his weapon, hitting one minor,” according to the GBI.
Social media footage obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta captured nearly a dozen people kicking and punching a person on the ground before several ran away, leaving the beaten-up individual lying motionless.
“It is incredibly disappointing that our community is disrupted at public events throughout the region by groups of underaged youth,” Six Flags Over Georgia said in a statement to Fox 5 Atlanta.
“Just like other venues in the area, we are committed to keeping this type of trouble outside our park and off our property. There was police activity involving gunshots; we want to confirm there was no shooting at our property or parking lot. This took place on South Service Road that is not owned or operated by Six Flags. However, we join our community and the Atlanta region in our commitment to safety and security. We won’t put up with that type of activity here.”

I'm not sure if @SixFlags @sfovergeorgia will be able to stay operational

The area of Atlanta that surrounds the park is ultra high crime already
This only reinforces that it's safer and wiser to just stay away https://t.co/qN3Nwhra4r

pic.twitter.com/Ldg3SpaqAX@SixFlags fight breaks out among about 500 young kids in Atlanta Georgia at six flags. You can’t even take your kids for a fun night out anymore because of thugs like this. @BrianKempGA what are you doing about crime in Atlanta Georgia? #MAGA
