Police were called to the amusement park in Cobb County shortly before 4 p.m. local time (2000GMT), a major U.S. television network reported, citing law enforcement.
The Cobb County Police Department has dispatched investigators to the scene. “Detectives with our Major Crimes Unit are responding to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident,” the department said in a statement.
