Two Jasper residents, one a juvenile, were shot at Buddy Parker Park the evening of July 14. Three Live Oak men and one juvenile were later arrested by authorities after fleeing the scene.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on July 14, officers from the Jasper Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office responded to shooting at Buddy Parker Park located near SW 9th Avenue on MLK Drive, in Jasper. Police found two Jasper residents, one a juvenile, with gunshot wounds. One of the victims was shot in the buttocks, and the other in the leg. Neither injury appeared to be life threatening.

Because of a cooperative effort by all jurisdictions involved, all four alleged suspects were taken into custody, said McGuire. Three are currently lodged at the Hamilton County Jail. The juvenile suspect was charged and released. This investigation is still on going, according to police.
