At least two people were killed, and a dozen others — including a child — were injured after gunfire erupted in a busy area of Alabama.

Police responded to a “mass shooting event” in downtown Montgomery at around 11:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, Oct. 4, Montgomery Police Department (MPD) Chief James Graboys said in a press conference live-streamed online, per WSFA 12 News.

Graboys confirmed that at least 14 people were struck in the incident, with two of the victims dying at the scene and three sustaining “life-threatening injuries." The remaining nine, he added, are not believed to have potentially fatal wounds.

An adult woman was among those killed, and at least one of the people who suffered life-threatening injuries is a child, MPD Lt. Tina McGriff confirmed to PEOPLE.

The victims' identities have not yet been shared publicly.

The incident took place during a busy time in the city, with a fair and other attractions set up to coincide with a football game between Tuskegee University and Morehouse College.

For the uninitiated, it was at a HBCU vs HBCU game.

It’s as if they can’t help it. Like it’s programmed in them.

“...not believed to have fatal wounds...”. We’d probably know if they were fatal. Urinalists today huh?

“The City of Montgomery was hosting and funding the HBCU Classic, which included free beer on Friday and a Ferris wheel downtown. “

“Hello Yogi?”
Yogi smiles.
We know that the lying libs (are there any other kind) know that they are admitting what Captain Obvious (and all of us) know. Now, a conundrum: Who should be hated more, the media, or DemocRATz?

Ah yes, Indianapolis used to hold the Circle City Classic every year for these type of teams. Shootings got so bad a lot of downtown restaurants closed when holding the game

HBCU?

Search Assist volunteered that we may talking about:
“HCBU stands for the Hasbro Comic Book Universe.”

Reading further, it could be:
Historically Black Colleges and Universities

Yep ... and the author, named "Latoya", sure took her time about revealing that fact.
