One killed, three injured in shooting at southeast Atlanta park

ATLANTA - Two people dead, and two others injured after a shooting at Coan Park in Atlanta, police say.
What we know:
The Atlanta Police Department said the shooting happened just before 8 p.m. Saturday.
A man who wasn't invited to a permitted fraternity event showed up at the park, which led to an argument, the APD told FOX 5.
During that argument, detectives say that at least two people pulled out guns and started shooting.
"From what we know at this point, there was an uninvited guest that arrived to the location, which led to a confrontation which led to guns being produced and shots being fired between the two individuals," APD Homicide Commander Lt. Andrew Smith said.
Officials say one man was shot in the head, and died. He has since been identified as 33-year-old Anthony Pearson.
A second victim was shot multiple times and taken to the hospital in critical condition. Officials say 23-year-old Justin Minnitee died from his injuries.
Two more people were injured and took themselves to the hospital, according to police. One person is in a stable condition, the other suffered a graze wound.
