A Sweet 16 party in Dadeville, Alabama turned into a tragic scene of carnage. Officials confirmed that four people were killed and at least 15 teenagers were shot and wounded.

The deadly rampage happened in downtown Dadeville around 10:34 p.m. on Saturday. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency confirmed the incident on Sunday.

“There were four lives tragically lost in this incident, and there’s been a multitude of injuries,” Sgt. Jeremy J. Burkett said. Philstavious Dowdell, a high school football player and brother of the birthday girl, was among those killed.

DJ Keenan Cooper, who was at the party when the shooting broke out, expressed sadness at the sight of so many young victims. “All those kids are probably going to be traumatized,” he said.
