About 1,000 people were attending a concert on Bryants Landing Road near Yates Lane when gunfire erupted following an altercation, WKRG reported.

While Reid said it was not clear how many shooters there were, police have one person in custody and remain unclear about that person’s role.

Investigators are continuing to search for people who may have been involved in the incident

Some of the injured were taken to North Baldwin Infirmary in Bay Minette, where clashes broke out after a large crowd gathered.
