Dooly County Sheriff's Office deputies who were patrolling the gathering responded immediately and discovered "multiple people" who had been shot, including two who were pronounced dead at the scene, the bureau stated.

Meanwhile, the 35 injured survivors were transported to multiple regional hospitals, the GBI remarked. Dooly County Sheriff Craig Peavy remarked to journalists some victims were hit by gunfire and others were hit by vehicles.

Peavy remarked the block party was almost over when the chaotic scene broke out. He remarked over 1, 000 residents were scrambling in every direction, and gunshots continued to ring out as officers responded.

"Even while we were on scene, there was still gunfire about a block away, " he remarked. "While all of us were on scene trying to get attention, medical attention, to the ones that needed it."

Brett Walls, the Dooly County coroner, informed USA TODAY that two men, ages 20 and 23, were killed in the shooting and would be autopsied over the next few days by the GBI Medical Examiner's Office.

GBI Special Agent in Charge Jerry Jones remarked to journalists the bureau was not yet prepared to identify a suspect or suspects, but asked anyone who was at the scene to come forward.

"We've been conducting interviews, " Jones remarked. "The crime scene is ongoing, probably will be going for the next several hours, but our goal is to identify – obviously we've identified our victims – but what's critical at this point is identifying anyone that may have information."
