Overview

• Two people were killed—17-year-old Jeremiah Morris and 43-year-old Shalanda Williams—and 12 others were injured, with five in life-threatening condition; seven of the wounded are under 20, the youngest 16.
• Police say one victim was targeted and an exchange of gunfire followed as multiple people in the crowd opened fire; investigators have strong leads and persons of interest but no arrests yet.
• Governor Kay Ivey directed the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency to broaden Capitol Police patrols and increase trooper presence, and she asked the ABC Board to review alcohol rules for evening sales.
• Mayor Steven Reed and Gov. Ivey spoke Wednesday as coordination continues with MPD, ALEA, the FBI and ATF, and city leaders consider extending a downtown curfew for unaccompanied minors to the entire city.
• A $50,000 reward is offered for tips leading to an arrest, and River Region United Way launched a recovery fund to help with funeral costs, trauma counseling and monthly bills for victims and families.
