2 dead, dozens injured in mass shooting at homecoming party

Two people are dead. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded early Sunday morning to a mass shooting in Georgia, and WSB-TV's short report says possibly dozens more were injured. The local sheriff told reporters the shooting happened during a homecoming celebration.

The report, titled "2 dead, dozens injured in mass shooting at homecoming party," passed 200,000 views within its first 11 hours. A short clip from this Atlanta station usually draws a few thousand views on its first day. The comment section also filled far faster than on the channel's usual short videos.

The station kept covering the story through the day. It streamed two live briefings: one with the sheriff, and one with the sheriff and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The joint briefing drew the larger audience of the two. Few other details have been released so far, including the names of the victims.

The rest of the channel's Sunday followed the usual run of a local newsroom: Braves fans hoping for a Game 2 comeback against the Dodgers, and the name, crest and colors of Atlanta City FC, the city's new women's professional soccer team.
