UPDATED @ 8:22 PM Houston County Sheriff Deputies are working in connection with Dale County Sheriff Department in this case.
The original call was possible shots fired which was at Hubbard Road and Highway 84 West in the Wicksburg Community. Houston County Sheriff Deputies responded. In Dothan there were several unmarked Houston County Sheriff Deputies seen running lights and siren traveling west towards Wicksburg.
Wicksburg Fire – Rescue responded to the scene because one person was injured in the hand.
UNCONFIRMED information at this time with law enforcement, but preliminary investigation indicates this started as a person purchasing a firearm. The transaction is reported to have possibly resulted into a robbery of the person making the purchase. That then developed into shots fired at each other. Again, this information is UNCONFIRMED with law enforcement at this time.
Then a white BMW was last seen traveling west on Highway 84 and possibly turned on Highway 92. BOLOS were issued to Dale County and Geneva County.
Houston County Sheriff Criminal Investigators along with Dale County Sheriff Criminal Investigators have been working on this all afternoon. Some investigators are currently, 9:29 PM, continuing their investigation with both Houston County and Dale County.
All of the puzzle is not totally matching and that is why the investigation is ongoing. When more details are known law enforcement will release additional information.
If anyone has information call Houston County Sheriff 911 Center, non emergency number, 334-677-4808 and request a Criminal Investigator to call you. You information might be the information that is needed. You never know.
UPDATE: A BOLO was canceled on one of the suspects, indicating he was most likely located; however, one of the suspects remains at large.
ORIGINAL: A call came through about a possible shooting in Wicksburg around 1:30 PM today. A BOLO was originally issued to law enforcement for a white BMW occupied by two males. The suspects in this vehicle are considered armed and dangerous.
Then, at U.S. 84 West and Hubbard Road, a black vehicle (possibly a victim) reportedly crashed into a ditch, the driver sustaining injuries to the hands. Deputies are already on-scene, and Wicksburg Rescue is on the way.
Information is currently limited, but it seems the crashed vehicle was possibly a victim of the shooting.
Law enforcement is searching for the suspect vehicle.
More information to come.
