The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office has announced a 1 p.m. press conference today to discuss the details of a Friday night incident in Cottondale in which six people were shot.

In an emailed statement, Captain Loyd Baker of the Tuscaloosa Metro Homicide Unit said the incident occurred at an apartment complex but did not specify which one.

Baker gave no other details about the shooting in his statement, including condition of the victims or the time at which the shooting occurred. The office is deferring all questions to Sheriff Ted Sexton during the press conference.

One thing could be happening for sure. God is acting upon his word, that he would take his hand off of us. We should be a Nation of Prayer but we're becoming a Nation of Thugs. RTR!

Around ten years back 3 Birmingham policemen were killed in Ensley going into a house. I believe the murderer is on deathrow now. Why wait so many decades to execute?

I say him to Texas tomorrow since they don't let it drag on as long.
