"MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Rival gunmen shot at each other in a crowded downtown nightlife district in Alabama's capital city Saturday night, killing two people and injuring 12 others in a chaotic street scene, police said. The dead included a 43-year-old woman and a 17-year-old male, while five of the 14 people wounded were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, including a juvenile, police said."
"Police were called around 11:30 p.m. to what Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys described as a "mass shooting" that happened within earshot of officers on routine patrol in downtown Montgomery. "This was two parties involved that were basically shooting at each other in the middle of a crowd," Graboys said. The shooters, he said, "did not care about the people around them when they did it.""
