Two dead, dozens injured in mass shooting in Alabama

UPDATE (5:02 PM): Officials in Alabama held a press conference Sunday afternoon to provide updates regarding the shooting in downtown Montgomery.

At least two people are dead, including a teenager, and a dozen others wounded in a shooting while the city was hosting several weekend festivities.

Officials say of those injured, five now have life-threatening injuries and they believe one of the victims was targeted.

"It was an incident of bad judgment, selfish behavior, and one that truly took the lives of many, many innocent people in danger," said Steven Reed, Mayor of Montgomery.

During the afternoon press conference, officials identified the two victims killed in the shooting as 17-year-old Jeremiah Morris and 43-year-old Shalanda Williams.

So far, a suspect is not in custody, and the city is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to a suspect's arrest.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (NBC, KYMA) - A mass shooting in downtown Montgomery, Alabama left two people dead and a dozen others injured.

Police said it happened at around 11:30 p.m. Eastern when two groups opened fire on each other in the middle of a crowd.

A total of 14 people were shot. Two of those victims died and the rest were injured. Police said of the injured, three people are in life-threatening condition.

"Thousands of people have been in the city this weekend, and it only took one or two to change the entire outcome...from the state fair to other events that we had going on around the city," said Steven Reed, Mayor of Montgomery.

So far, no arrests have been made, but some individuals are being interviewed.

"The people who did what they did, who are responsible for opening fire on each other like that, did not care about the people around them when they did it. And now we have 14 people who have been shot, two of them, like I stated earlier, deceased. We will not rest until we get you," said Chief James Graboys with the Montgomery Police Department.

An investigation is ongoing.
