GADSDEN, Ala. (WIAT) — Four people were injured in a drive-by shooting outside of a Waffle House in Gadsden Friday night.
The shooting occurred after the Gadsden City High School football game, according to Gadsden Mayor Craig Ford.
Mayor Ford confirmed all victims are in stable condition, and pledged to bring the shooter into custody by the end of the day.
“It was a chaotic situation, but a stable situation,” Ford said in a video posted to Facebook Saturday morning. “Now for the shooter, I can assure you we will have him in custody by the end of the day. I have called in all available resources with our Gadsden Police Department. I have been on the phone with our task force, our police chief, and other police departments in other neighboring communities. There is only so much I can say because we do not want to too much information to get out about what we are doing. But, I can assure you, we know who it is, and we will bring them into custody and they will face justice.”
