Two shot in Valdosta
Two people were hit by gunfire following an argument Saturday night in Valdosta, according to police. Two groups of people were engaged in an argument in the 1800 block of Claudia Circle late Saturday, said Lt. Aaron Kirk of the Valdosta Police Department. Someone in one of the groups opened fire, shooting toward a house, and two people — a 26-year-old woman from Virginia and a nine-year-old Valdosta boy — were hit in the legs, Kirk said. Both victims were taken to South Georgia Medical Center and were expected to recover, he said. No suspects have been named, Kirk said.
