The Richmond County Sheriff's Office on Monday called the mass shooting in Augusta over the weekend a "targeted attack" and an act of retaliation for an incident that occurred in Florida. The shooting, which killed two men and injured four others, occurred at 6:35 p.m. Saturday outside Olde Town at Sand Bar Ferry Road and East Boundary Street. In a press conference Monday, Sheriff Richard Roundtree said the shooting involved members of the Outcast Motorcycle Club, based in Augusta, and an out-of-town motorcycle club called Thug Rider.
