HOOVER, Alabama - Hoover police are investigating a fatal shooting at an Alabama/Auburn party in Hoover tonight.

An adult female was shot and pronounced dead on the scene at about 7 p.m. at the Summerchase at Riverchase apartments, Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said. The victim was in her 30s, police said.

Another adult female was taken into custody but has not been charged, said Derzis, who said there were "multiple witnesses" at the scene.

The shooting happened outside the 1600 Building at the apartment complex. Crime scene tape littered the ground in the cul-de-sac but the heavy police presence had cleared by 10 p.m.

Residents at the complex said there are frequent parties where the shooting happened. The few residents outside late Saturday evening said they weren't home when the gunfire rang out.

Hoover police said they had few additional details they could release this early into the probe. "It was an Auburn/Alabama party, but we don't know if it was related" to the game, Derzis said.
