A Sweet 16 party turned into a scene of carnage when four people were killed and at least 15 teenagers were shot and wounded, officials said. The deadly rampage happened in downtown Dadeville around 10:34 p.m. Saturday, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Sunday. “There were four lives tragically lost in this incident, and there’s been a multitude of injuries,” Sgt. Jeremy J. Burkett said.
He said the police chief asked him to go to Lake Martin Community Hospital to help with crowd control and ministering students who had gathered. “It’s a very close, tight-knit community,” Hayes told CNN. “Everybody knows everybody. That’s why this is so difficult, it’s because this, it’s affecting everybody in the community.” Hayes said students told him the shooting happened at a “Sweet 16” birthday party. “I knew these kids personally. Most people did,” the pastor said.
