Four young teenagers were reportedly shot dead at a sweet sixteen birthday event in Alabama.

Sources from local media outlets claim at least 20 others were declared injured and rushed to a nearby medical facility as many of them were fighting for their lives with critical injuries.

Horrifying images showed six people lying on the ground, some unconscious and others in terrible pain as they await paramedics and security forces to assist them after the mass shooting endeavor.

Local reports have confirmed how the majority of people killed and injured were teenagers that happened to be attending a birthday event of a loving sixteen-year-old girl. But little did they know that the cost of having a little fun would end up losing their life.

Among those killed included a high school football standout who was reportedly the 16-year-old girl’s brother. He was all set to graduate in a week’s time, his parents explained as they wiped away their tears after being comforted by the authorities at the crime scene.

The incident reportedly took place at the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio and this is where witnesses described the horror of a few shots being fired out of nowhere. This caused a massive aura of panic and chaos with people running and screaming in all directions.

While investigations regarding the matter are still taking place, the cops claim it was a massive brawl that suddenly erupted out of nowhere.

So far, only one of the four victims killed was identified as cops are trying to keep families alert during this difficult and stressful time.

Those who knew the victim were seen mourning his loss and called him out as one of the kindest individuals you’d ever come across.

The number of shooting incidents involving youngsters continues to increase in the country and that has put state officials under pressure to find a solution before it’s too late.
