In addition to the four people whose lives were lost, 28 people are injured, some critically, during the shooting in Dadeville, Alabama.
ALABAMA, USA – At least four people were killed, including a high school football player, in a shooting that erupted during a birthday party held inside a dance studio in the small town of Dadeville, Alabama, state police and local news media said on Sunday, April 16.
Officials would not even say whether a suspect has been killed or arrested, although they said there was no longer any threat to the community. The newspaper, quoting the victim’s grandmother, identified the slain teenager as Phil Dowdell, who she said was set to graduate in a matter of weeks and planned to attend Jacksonville State University on a football scholarship.
Hundreds of community members gathered early Sunday evening in a parking lot a few blocks from the shooting scene for an outdoor prayer vigil. Biden called the rising gun violence in the US “outrageous and unacceptable,” and urged Congress to pass laws that would make firearms manufacturers more liable for gun violence, ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and require safe storage of firearms and background checks for gun sales.
