At Least 2 Dead, Multiple Others, Including a Child, Injured in ‘Mass Shooting' After College Football Game and Fair in Alabama

Gunfire erupted in downtown Montgomery on Saturday, Oct. 4

 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.

Sounds like a gang sort of thing, but still awfully dangerous for innocent people in the vicinity.

2 dead, 12 injured in Montgomery, Alabama mass shooting
October 5, 2025 / 9:23 AM EDT / CBS News

Rival gunmen started shooting at each other in a crowded downtown nightlife district in Alabama's capital city Saturday night, killing two people and injuring 12 others, police said.

Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys said three of the injured were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Police were called around 11:30 p.m. to what Graboys described as a "mass shooting."

"This was two parties involved that were basically shooting at each other in the middle of a crowd," Graboys told reporters.

The shooters, he said, "did not care about the people around them when they did it."  ...

So, who won the game?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Did the game's winner beat the spread?
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

Two 'parties' shooting at each other does not a "mass shooting" make.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Exactly. It is a gunfight in a public place. I just hope the shooters got each other.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Probably such crappy shots that the only ones they hit were the innocents.

Nobody goes to see the games, only the marching bands dancing to and fro, and gyrating in the stands.

There was more than one HBU football game that day. Alabama State University (ASU) also has a stadium/game a couple miles away from where the shooting took place. I imagine some of the shooters had Glocks with full auto mods. Spray and hurray black youth. Downtown Tourism will take a big hit.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
