NORCROSS, Ga. - One teen-age girl was found shot to death early yesterday at a suburban soccer park and another was critically wounded.
Police said they were working with the girls' parents to determine how they ended up at the park in the suburb northeast of Atlanta.
The girls were found after police received a 911 call. Officers would not give details on the call.
Gwinnett County police spokesman George Gilson said the dead girl was found near a bicycle and jogging trail and the wounded girl was at a concession area within sight of the other victim. He would not describe their wounds or their clothing.
No car was found nearby and police said there are no subdivisions within a short walking distance of the county-owned park.
The victims' names, ages and hometowns were not immediately released.
At a nearby grocery store, Charman Sykes said her two sons play soccer in the park. She said violent crime is rare in the area.
Gwinnett County is one of the largest Atlanta suburbs with about 500,000 residents, many of them living in middle-class subdivisions within 25 miles of downtown. The county had 36 murders in 1999.
