BREAKING: Authorities in Alabama on Wednesday announced two arrests after a shooting Saturday at a teenager’s birthday party left four people dead and 32 others injured.
Sgt. Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16, were arrested Tuesday night on four counts each of reckless murder. Mike Segrest, district attorney for Alabama’s fifth circuit, said they will also face charges related to the dozens of people who were injured.
“Please understand, with a scene and a violent act, with the violence that went on and the magnitude of what happened, we are absolutely still in the early stages of this investigation,” Burkett said at a news conference Wednesday. “This is absolutely the beginning. This is not the end. There’s a tremendous amount of work that has yet to be done.
“There was uncut cake and unburnt 16 candles that never got lit,” the district attorney said. “Lexi’s brother was one of the victims. On her 16th birthday party, she knelt by her brother as he took his last breath. That’s what we’re dealing with here.” He noted that the shooting affected people beyond the borders of Dadeville, as several of the people at Saturday’s party came from other nearby communities.
“There were so many kids in this venue, and what they saw, it’s — they’re victims in this. Their families are victims of this, and the ripple effect of this, you know, it’s kind of like a wave rolling across Lake Martin, but that ripple didn’t stop when it hit the banks,” he said. “There are other communities involved.”
