well before this incident on Saturday but just a few minutes ago they showed back up here you can see crime scene investigators returning to the scene of the crime trying to collect any evidence they might have missed the teen Who police say shot at them is now under arrest but one woman who says she reported those post to Crim Stoppers thinks more could have been done someone had posted that something was going to go down at Six Flag the video shows just a few seconds of the absolute free-for-a

and you already know what fin to go down mark second at Six Flags with a laughing emoji I called the tip line to let them know what was happening and what I had seen on social media and how they can see it as well on social media and that was it nothing else was done now there are worries about safety in and around the park heading into the summer last year's opening day also got marred by kids fighting cob County Commissioner Mo'Nique Sheffield tells Fox 5 I am disappointed and share safety co
ncerns adding currently Six Flags does not have a chaperon policy perhaps this incident will allow an opportunity for us to revisit that conversation Outreach to these young youth to let them know that what they're doing is not right this is not how you live your life Atlanta is not about this right next door to the amusement park we provide that safe place for young people a church run Community Center called Riverside epicenter is trying to get these kids engaged on Saturday they watched the m
assive police presence at their front door we were here in our facility and we felt safe um and we want to continue to feel safe and we're grateful for our enforcement professionals and Reps for Six Flags did not agree to an interview today but we did ask them about that commissioner's proposal about mandating chapon for certain minors in the park we are still waiting to hear back that's the latest from here live in uh cob County Rob de Renzo Fox yeah we'll continue to follow the story as well t

Sad just Sad. This generation is lost

@Michael-iw3ek

Shouldn't they be calling this "peaceful gathering" rather than attack?

@QuantumMechanic_88

Typical censoring.

@jamar9711

It was definitely planned they had a video on TikTok 2 weeks before it happened

@dalefutrelle1441

Every time you see a group of a certain kind of people gather together in one spot, you know something bad is going to happen.

@tortieguurl

How many times did that broadcaster practice “finna go down” before he felt it was ready for the take?

@MikeUSD1

You live in Atlanta and you already know whats gonna go down? Maybe roller coasters g oing down?

@catwoman2596

Upon check-in at the park, a note should be made as to whom the chaperone is for said minor. At this point there should be chaperones in malls as well. This is beyond ridiculous.

@7.62Ak

Let’s be honest. Who is genuinely surprised?

@c.a.6972

Fox 5 Atlanta writes the WORST headlines

@jamirokev

These are the descendants of “Freaknik”. What did you expect?

@inquisitive_stranger

I like how now they are trying to blame someone else...... Let's charge the parents and see how quickly this changes....

@angeladavis2010

Usual suspects!!!!

@Bikertrash420

Typical behavior from the usual suspects

@claycarpenter8625

Hindsight is 20/20. Do you know how.many threats are nothing? Almost all of them. You can use all your resources because someone "could" do something. Ok so dont drive then because you "could" get into an accident. We gotta stop blaming individuals or groups and go to the source that allow these thing inbthe forst place.

@HowDareUbuddy

same suspect?

@alphaomega5909

Retired county law enforcement officer here. Despite some thinking we Love shooting people? WE DO NOT. Especially a young person. Whats needed is MORE help for these teens n more stringent gun laws. Yes I said it.

@44altecz

a15 year old with a gun

@muddysludge7117

You're not legit until you catch some gun charges. FJB!
