Pastor Ben Hayes, the chaplain for the Dadeville Police Department and the local high school football team, said most of the victims were teenagers. He noted that the shooting was especially shocking for the small town, where serious crime is rare, as one of the victims was a star athlete and great person. WRBL-TV reported that the shooting occurred at a dance studio, with images of crime scene tape and a heavy police presence.



Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has expressed her grief in a statement, saying that "violent crime has NO place in our state" and that they are closely monitoring the situation. Dadeville, which has a population of 3200, is located 92 kilometers north-east of Montgomery, Alabama.
