The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency reported that a shooting occurred Saturday night in Dadeville that resulted in four fatalities and numerous injuries.
According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the shooting took place around 10:30 p.m. Initial confirmation of what sparked the incident was lacking. It wasn’t known right away if a suspect was in police custody.
The majority of the casualties are teens, according to Pastor Ben Hayes, who also serves as the chaplain for the local high school football team and the Dadeville Police Department. This is because the shooting took place at a 16-year-old’s birthday celebration. The shooting, he claimed, has shocked the little village where violent crimes are uncommon.
“One of the young men who died was a fantastic man and one of our star athletes. I, therefore, know a lot of these students. Since Dadeville is a small community, everyone there will be impacted, according to Hayes.
According to WRBL-TV, the incident took place in a dancing studio. The television station displayed pictures of crime scene tape surrounding the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio and surrounding structures, along with a significant police presence.
“I weep with the residents of Dadeville and my fellow Alabamans this morning. The governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey, said in a statement shared on social media that violent violence “has NO place in our state. We are closely informed by law enforcement as information emerges.
East Alabama’s Dadeville, which has a population of roughly 3,200, is located 57 miles (92 kilometers) northeast of Montgomery.
