ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Four teenagers were arrested and face charges in connection to a shooting that left two people including a teenager injured late Monday evening in Carroll County, according to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

Police responded to the area of North Gate Court and North Gate Drive after reports of a shooting around 11:50 p.m. Upon arrival, deputies found a 16-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man with gunshot wounds. The girl was rushed to an Atlanta hospital, and the man “refused medical treatment on scene,” deputies say.
