Two men were killed and three others suffered gunshot wounds in a shooting that took place near the campus of Alabama State University overnight.
Officers with the Montgomery Police Department responded to the 800 block of North University Drive at around 7.15pm to find a mortally wounded man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sgt. Jarrett Williams said another victim died at a hospital, while three other men were being treated for gunshot wounds.
Of the three surviving victims, one sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
‘The investigation is in its early stages and information is limited at this time,’ Williams said.
