‘Tight-Knit’ Alabama Town Grieves Football Star Killed in Mass Shooting
A beloved high school football player was tragically shot dead at his sister’s Sweet 16 birthday party in Alabama Saturday night, reports said. The teen, who was committed to play Division 1 college ball next season, was one of four killed and 28 injured as a result of the incident.
The shooting took place around 10:34 p.m. at the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio in Dadeville, Alabama. The small town sits roughly an hour outside the state capital of Montgomery and has a population of just over 3,000 people.
