The shooting took place as thousands of people were attending the city’s 15th annual MoonPie Over Mobile New Year’s Eve event.

Graphic video circulating on Twitter shows at least two people lying on the sidewalk with injuries moments after the shooting. Witnesses in the area told Fox 10 that groups of people began running for cover as soon as the shots rang out.

Carly Bragg, who was downtown celebrating New Year’s Eve, told Fox 10 that the shots were terrifying and “sounded like fireworks very close.”

“The timing was wild,” Bragg said. “We went through the area and then it happened.”

She told the outlet that she and her friends hid inside a hallway that was “maybe 15 or 20 feet away from the sound and noticed the window shot out of Urban Emporium when we realized how close we were.” “.
