ALBANY, Ga. --
Authorities have confiscated several guns from members of two families they say have been involved in a feud.
Albany police confiscated eight firearms, including sawed-off shotguns and pistols Wednesday night after executing search warrants on the family homes of the Vickses and the Washingtons, police investigator Kendra Wilson said.
Police say the two families are involved in a feud that may have been caused by the killing of Demetrius Vicks last April. That has led to several shooting incidents, one as recent as early Wednesday in which the Vicks' home was shot at while 13 people were inside, police said.
That attack was probably committed in retaliation for shootings that happened Tuesday, Wilson said.
In one of those shootings, Wilson said Travis Vicks is accused in connection with an incident in which Aretavious Washington, 22, told police someone followed him in a car and shot at him several times. But Washington also has been arrested in that same incident because police say he fired at Vicks first.
Both Vicks and Washington have turned themselves in to police, Albany police spokeswoman Phyllis Banks-Whitley said. Both were being held without bond at the Dougherty County Jail on aggravated assault and firearms possession charges Thursday, a jailer said.
Investigators are looking into the possibility that the shootings are gang related, Wilson said.
