Background unclear – USA: Four killed after shooting at birthday party

Date:

At least four people were killed and twenty youths injured by gunfire at a birthday party in the US state of Alabama. The shooting at a house in the center of the town of Dadeville broke out on Sunday night (local time).

As local television station WRBL reported with reference to investigators, a teen celebrated his 16th birthday at home. Authorities did not provide information about the ages of the victims or the background to the incident, which took place around 10:30 p.m. Saturday night.

American media had previously reported that the act of violence may have taken place at a birthday party in a dance studio. It was therefore also unclear whether the shooter or shooters were caught. Dadeville is located about 70 kilometers northeast of the capital Montgomery.

A deadly gun attack also took place in the state of Kentucky, north of Alabama, on Saturday night. Shots were fired into a crowd in the largest city of Louisville, police said at a news conference Saturday night. At least two people were fatally injured. At least four people have been taken to hospital with injuries, one of whom is in critical condition. Further details were initially unknown.
