SOUTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Two children and one adult were shot in a south Fulton County neighborhood Thursday evening.

Family members said the shooting happened during an outdoor birthday party on Buckhurst Drive.

The children were playing in a bounce house when gunshots rang out.

"They were playing on the bounce house and next thing you know, my grandson was shot in the back," Deanna Titus said.

Titus said her daughter, the boy's mother, heard the shots and ran outside to check on the children. The mother saw that her son, 3-year-old Lawrence, was shot and took him to Southern Regional Hospital.
