Athens-Clarke County Police responded to Hallmark Mobile Home Park on Spring Valley Road just after 5:30 p.m. When they got to the home, they found out three people had been shot, including two children.
Spring Valley Road is just a little over a mile from Athens Ben-Epps Airport.
The adult and one of the children were treated for non-life-threatening injuries at the hospital. However, police said the other child who was injured by gunfire was later pronounced dead.
Shanita Smith said her 3-year-old son Kyron Zarco was killed in the shooting. Her 9-year-old son, who just celebrated his birthday yesterday, was also injured but is being treated for his injuries in the hospital, Smith told 11Alive's Cody Alcorn.
An online fundraiser was started after a 3-year-old was killed in a triple shooting at an Athens mobile home park.
Family members are now looking for support during this time to cover his funeral arrangements.
