"We are going to continue to work doing a very methodical way to go through this scene to look at the facts and ensure that justice is brought to bear for the families," said Sgt. Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
The Alabama shooting happened about an hour after shots were fired into a large crowd at a park in Louisville, Kentucky.
