In Cochran Georgia, two young children were the unintended victims of gun violence today.  According to law enforcement, bullets fired at a local housing complex struck and killed two-year-old Yasir Satterwhite and injured four-year-old Tamir Satterwhite. The older boy is in stable condition at the hospital after surgery.  

Authorities “feel confident” that the two children were not the intended targets of whoever fired.  However, they do not have any suspects at this time. “This is priority number one, we will keep work and work and work until someone is brought to justice for this heinous crime,” a law enforcement officer said.
