ORGINAL STORY:

The Mobile County Sheriffs Office and Chickasaw Police Department are investigating a deadly Thursday night shooting in Chickasaw.

Authorities say the shooting occurred on 3rd Avenue and involves a female victim.

The woman was taken to the hospital and authorities later confirmed that she has died.

According to Chickasaw Police Chief Keith Miller around 8:45 they got a call about a shooting.

When investigators arrived on scene they found a woman with multiple gunshot wounds.

Chief Miller says two men pulled up to the house on the corner and started firing.

Witnesses tell investigators multiple people were inside the house, but no one else was hurt.

“As best as we can tell right now the facts that we’ve gotten from witnesses is that a car with two males drove up to the residence and opened fire on the residence from the driveway up to the door,” Chief Miller said. “We are still in the midst of the beginning of the investigation. We have few details at this time.”

Chief Miller didn’t say if the two men who pulled up knew the victim or if this shooting was random.

A man on scene was detained for questioning but was not identified as a suspect.

Chickasaw Police are the lead agency on this case. The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office is assisting.
