A Birmingham teen is charged in last weekend's shooting at a Center Point church carnival that left six peope wounded, including an 11-month-old girl.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office on Friday announced the arrest of 17-year-old Laeric Bailey. He is charged with one count of second-degree assault, but Chief Deputy Randy Christian said more charges are expected.

Bailey, a Huffman High School student, was arrested when he showed up at school Tuesday. Christian said the fight that led to gunfire started over a girl, and said Bailey dropped the gun at carnival after he fired and fled. He said Bailey opened fire when he realized he was outnumbered in the fight.

Gunfire erupted just before 9:30 p.m. Saturday, April 15, inside the 10th annual Spring Carnival extravaganza at the Cathedral of the Cross A.O.H. Church of God in Center Point. Approximately 900 people were at the carnival at the time - 800 inside the event and 100 waiting in line to get in. Six young people, including Karleigh Caves, who turned 1 four days after the shooting, were struck by the gunfire.

"We charged him first for the 1-year-old victim. I think that's appropriate,'' Christian said Friday. "We will be holding him accountable for the others also."

The majority of the victims were teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18, in addition to the baby. None of the injuries were life-threatening. Roughly 60 Birmingham police and Jefferson County deputies and 35 firefighters went to the scene.

Felicia Stubbs was at the carnival with four of her children when the shots rang out. "I panicked. I couldn't breathe," Stubbs told AL.com that night. "I saw my 5-year-old and then I didn't. You either jumped the fence or you got shot. I just thank the Lord Jesus Christ that we're still here."

Stubbs said a man knocked down a portion of the fence, and people escaped through that opening. "We were all running," she said. "I could have lost my kids and my life."

Karleigh's mother, Danetris Caves, said her daughter was celebrating her first birthday with her father and other family members. Karleigh's father called Caves after the shooting. "He was just screaming and hollering through the phone,'' she said.

Caves rushed to the scene only to learn that her daughter had been taken by ambulance to Children's of Alabama. She underwent surgery to remove a bullet from her leg and is recovering. "Put the guns down,'' Caves later said. "Guns are too dangerous."

Five people were taken into custody that night for questioning. Detectives reviewed eye witness accounts, written statements and physical evidence and a suspect was quickly identified, Christian said.

On Tuesday, sheriff's officials found Bailey and took him into custody. The felony warrant against him was obtained on Thursday afternoon. He remained jailed Friday with bond set at $50,000.

"It's a miracle he didn't kill someone,'' Christian said. "He said he was shooting into the ground to get away from the fight. As if that was Ok."
