A deadly, overnight mass shooting is under investigation in downtown Montgomery.

The Montgomery Police Department says the shooting happened near Bibb Street and Commerce Street and left 14 people injured around 11:30 p.m.

Two people have died, including a woman. MPD has not given any information on the other fatality.

MPD said two juveniles were also among those injured, including one who is in life-threatening condition.

In total, three victims remain in life-threatening condition and nine others sustained non-life threatening injuries, MPD said.

“To have a heinous event like this take place before midnight in a busy part of our entertainment district is reckless and selfish,” said Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed. “You don’t care about your life? Go jump off a bridge. You don’t pull a gun and shoot in a crowd of people.”

“This is not acceptable. This is not normal,” said Montgomery Police Chief Jim Graboys. “We will not rest until we put the people involved in jail.”
