Police in Alabama are investigating a shooting that injured multiple people after a graduation event.
reports the shooting occurred early Friday morning after more than 150 people gathered for a graduation party. Police said six people were struck by gunfire, ranging in ages from 14 to 20-years-old, with another person injured while trying to escape the area.
Stray bullets also hit multiple vehicles. Authorities said dozens of shell casings and several firearms were recovered. Anniston police said the impulse for young people to use firearms is a tragedy and a shame. They additionally thanked the Oxford Police Department for assisting them during the chaotic scene. The injured people are expected to survive, but police said their investigation continues, and they are committed to helping reduce such violent incidents. Anyone with further information on Friday’s shooting was urged to contact the Anniston Police Department Investigative Division at 256-240-4000.
