GEORGIA – One man died and three other people were injured after an argument erupted in gunfire during a birthday celebration in southwest Georgia, authorities said.
The violence broke out just after 2 a.m. Sunday at a restaurant that was hosting a private birthday party, said Jamy Steinberg, special agent in charge of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s office in Thomasville.
