DADEVILLE, ALABAMA — Police say 4 people were shot and killed and another 20+ injured during a shooting that took place Saturday night, reportedly during a 16th birthday party at a dance hall.
This morning, I grieve with the people of Dadeville and my fellow Alabamians. Violent crime has NO place in our state, and we are staying closely updated by law enforcement as details emerge.

There is no word on a suspect or suspects, or a motive for the incident. Information is extremely scarce at the moment.
A photo has been circulating around the internet that purportedly shows multiple bodies on the floor inside the dance studio, and the floor seems to match that of other photos from inside the studio prior to the shooting.
