Description
EAST POINT — Juvenile curfews in the city of East Point could be rolled back Monday evening at a city council meeting, after a weekend movie theater shootout.
Three teens were shot Saturday night near the Camp Creek Marketplace, according to 11Alive News.
The shopping area sits just outside Atlanta's city limits as part of a consortium of retail stores through which the border between the two cities weaves.
Two of the teens were 15 and the other was 13, East Point Police told Channel 46 News. According to reports, a group of teens was walking near the Cami Cakes and American Deli around 9 p.m., when they encountered a Black male in a black jacket.
The group began to run when the male pulled out a gun and began firing into the crowd, according to 11Alive News.
The City Hall meeting includes an agenda item to determine whether the city will change the curfew for youth. Currently, on the weekends -- Friday and Saturday -- the curfew is 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., city spokeswoman Shannon Wiggins said in an email. During weeknights, the curfew is 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. It is unclear what a new curfew will be.
