When officers arrived at the club, they found one man with a critical gunshot wound. Woody said he saw the man lying on the parking lot. The victim was taken to East Alabama Medical Center-Lanier, and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

“During that time, there was a young lady who was parked up the street, on the side of the road. We noticed some more shooting going on up there,” Woody said. “Someone shot into that young lady’s car, during the time the police officers were here. They had no regard for the police or anybody.”

The other seven victims who were injured in the club went to the hospital in their private vehicles and were treated and released.

Police are trying to determine whether there were one shooter or multiple shooters involved, Spates said.

“We’re still working on that right now,” she said Monday, and added that the names of the victims will be released, pending notification of relatives.

The gunman allegedly stormed into the club, firing his weapon, and a security guard was shot in the hand when he tried to detain the suspect.
