Alabama Mass Shooting: 2 Killed, 14 Injured

Police Chief Graboys said the incident was a “senseless act of violence.”

“I am going to state specifically that we will use every resource,” he added during the press conference, per WSFA 12 News. “We will do whatever we need to do. We will use every resource to charge and hold the people responsible who were involved in this offense.”

Describing the incident as “tragic and chaotic,” Graboys continued, “My heart is weeping for the families, and I am incredibly angry, because this was not a typical mass shooting that people read about."

“This was two parties that were involved that were shooting at each other in a crowd. I know enough to say that right now,” Graboys then said. “While I am limited in some of the information that I can release, I am releasing that because 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."

“Now we have 14 people wounded, shot, two of them deceased. We will not rest until we get you,” he concluded, adding that suspects are currently being interviewed in connection with the shooting.

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed praised law enforcement’s efforts in the investigation, stating during the press conference that pulling out a gun in a crowd of people is “reckless and selfish.”

“We are going to use every resource we have to bring all those involved in this to justice. Whether it's tonight, whether it's tomorrow, whether it's next week or whether it's next month, we won't rest," Reed said.

MPD Lt. McGriff said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE that authorities are getting leads from witness statements and surveillance footage.
