At least 14 people shot, 2 fatally, after overnight mass shooting in Montgomery, Alabama


Multiple gunmen opened fire in a large crowd in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, leaving two people dead, including a teenage boy, and wounding a dozen others, officials said.

Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys said gunfire erupted around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, in the city’s nightlife district. Police believe one of the victims was targeted but that several people began firing in the densely crowded area after the initial shots rang out.

Graboys identified the two deceased victims as 17-year-old Jeremiah Morris, and Shalanda Williams, 43. As of Sunday, Oct. 5, five victims remained in the hospital with life-threatening injuries and seven others were in stable condition.

Seven of the victims are under 20 years of age, and the youngest is 16, Graboys said.
