At least four people were killed and several injured in a Saturday night shooting in the US state of Alabama, police said, as multiple reports said the victims had been celebrating a teen birthday party.
Local news reports said the shooting occurred at a Sweet 16 birthday party at a dance studio in Dadeville, a small town northeast of the state capital Montgomery, with at least 20 people shot.
Local media and witnesses have said several wounded people, many of them teens, were transported to local hospitals for medical attention. "He was a very, very humble child. Never messed with anybody. Always had a smile on his face," Allen told the Montgomery Advertiser, adding that Dowdell's mother was also shot and wounded.ALEA provided no further details on the incident, and said its State Bureau of Investigations has launched a probe together with Dadeville police and federal agencies including the FBI.
State leaders took to Twitter Sunday offering prayers and decrying violence but they did not provide details on what happened.
