I don't want to be insensitive, and more info needs to come in, but a first thought is regarding what part of town this was in. It sounds like it might be a gang thing.

Dadeville, Alabama

Kind of sort of in the middle of nowhere with just a few similarly sized towns nearby. Far off the interstates.

Dance studio
Otherwise no other real info.

Quote
Investigators spent the night working the crime scene in the old Bank of Dadeville, a brick building at 220 N. Broadnax St. that was converted two years ago into Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio.

Teenagers gathered at the studio Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Gunfire erupted just after 10:30 p.m.

That's nothing compared to what went through my mind involving a recent pattern. I'll keep it to myself until more info comes out

Still no solid info on dead and injured but couldn't help but notice someone was quick to update the Wiki page on Dadeville

It's (tinfoil caveat) interesting that this another one of these stories where info is VERY slow in coming out. It immediately makes you wonder about demographics.

Now they're saying at least 4 killed and more than 20 shot and injured.
Says shots fired after a fight broke out.
No word on suspects.

From the article I read this morning they still don't know who the shooter(s) is.

Is 'no longer a threat to the community' code for the shooter is dead? Did he shoot himself?

Considering the probable demographics and no super high powered people vaporizing AR-15 to blame this story is getting deep sixed

Of course there was no evidence. As we now know, the AR-15 vaporizes the bodies, in order to leave no trace behind. That's how the NRA designed it.

Here is a "story" that I heard about what happened, I can't vouch for its reliability.  It is different than I was expecting.

Someone at the party had recently stolen a large amount of money from drug dealers.  A group of the drug dealers went to the party looking for the thief.  The thief went out to the parking lot to talk to the drug dealers, which went about like you would expect.  The thief ran back into the party, and was followed by the drug dealers…. slaughter ensued.

The problem with that story is, it doesn't give us any reason to take your guns away.

Also, needs some white supremacy.

Obviously we're the ones selling the guns to the dealers.
