Huntsville police are looking for the person responsible for the sixth shooting to occur in the Rocket City over the weekend, which left one man fighting for his life.

Officers were called just after 10 p.m. Sunday to a home in the 600 block of Eastbrook Drive, where they found the 20-year-old victim inside with a life-threatening gunshot wound to the head and neck area.

Lt. Darryl Lawson, public information officer for the Huntsville Police Department, reports that witnesses told officers two black men wearing masks and armed with handguns forced their way into the home and confronted the victim in a hallway. As they argued about money, one of the men fired a shot that struck the victim.

The two men fled on foot and the victim was rushed to Huntsville Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition Monday morning.

It was the sixth shooting in the city over the weekend, and the third on Sunday.

Just before 9 p.m. Sunday, police were called to the Patton Road Apartments on the corner of Foster Avenue and Patton Road, where an unidentified person fired shots into an occupied apartment.

No one was injured in that incident, WHNT reports.

Earlier in the afternoon, a 25-year-old man was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting on McCrary Street. The victim told police he was walking just before 3 p.m. into a house on McCrary, located off of University Drive near Memorial Parkway, when shots rang out.

The victim was hit twice in the hip. He underwent surgery Sunday evening for his injuries.

No arrests have been made in that case.

Three additional shootings occurred on Saturday, according to police. A 20-year-old man was shot three times when he was caught in the crossfire of two other men with guns.

The victim told investigators that he was standing in front of an apartment building in the 3000 block of Venona Avenue around 1 p.m. Saturday when gunfire rang out. He was struck in the shoulder, hip and right leg.

A friend took the man to Huntsville Hospital before police were called.

"(The victim) was somewhat uncooperative with the officer making the report," Lawson said.

Police subsequently went to Venona Avenue to work the crime scene there.

That victim's injuries were not life-threatening. The case remains under investigation.

A 14-year-old boy was also shot in the leg in the 100 block of Mason Court Saturday afternoon. The boy and his stepfather were walking together around 2:30 p.m. when when a black man in his late teens or early 20s stepped out from around the corner of an apartment building and began firing at them.

The police were responsible for the gunfire in the third Saturday shooting, in which officers were called to the 1000 block of McKinley Avenue on a domestic disturbance call. When they arrived and approached the door to the home, they saw a man inside getting up off of the couch with a gun in his hand, Lawson said.

Officers fired on the man, Daniel Foust Crumbley, 44, at which time he dropped his gun. No one was injured in the gunfire.

Crumbley is charged with two counts of menacing and one count of third-degree domestic violence in the incident.

The three officers involved have been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation into their use of force.
