Washington: 3 people were killed and 15 injured during a fight at a weekend dance party in the US state of Alabama.
According to the American media, a person started a quarrel over a slight bitter word at a party in the state of Alabama and fired indiscriminately at the party participants.
More than 15 people were injured in the firing, who were shifted to a nearby hospital, where 3 people were confirmed dead, while the death toll is expected to increase due to the critical condition of 6.
The shooter fled from the scene and a search operation is being conducted. So far, the accused has not been identified and no arrest has been made.
The police say that they have found evidence of the involvement of two persons in the shooting incident at the night party, and the search is on.
It should be remembered that the number of deaths in shooting incidents in the United States is more than the number of deaths in road accidents. The reason for which is the unduly laxity in the laws of sale and purchase of arms.
