At least 14 people were shot, two fatally, including a teenage boy and a woman, at an intersection near downtown Montgomery, Alabama, late Saturday night, according to police.

At least five of the shooting victims were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, Montgomery Police Chief James Graboys said at a news conference on Sunday.

He said seven of the gunshot victims are under the age of 17, and that the youngest is 16.

Graboys said that based on the preliminary investigation, the gunfire erupted when an individual targeted in the shooting returned fire. The chief said that once the shooting started, multiple people in the crowd pulled out weapons and opened fire, too.

Gee, maybe it's not a good thing that gunz are so readily available to everyone in the US.

1. All Americans have been enrolled in the death by gun lottery.

Whether they like it or not.

5. Given that Montgomery is nearly 60% black that seems like a real possibility.

6. Dead people are

the most polite people you will meet.

4. Too many guns. Too many of wrong type of guns. Too many of the wrong people with guns.

Mass shootings are part of the USA culture now.

What else could be expected?

Only a matter of time until the ICE incursions turn into chronic street warfare.

Too many shootings aren't lone whackos and looks to get worse in immediate future.

Liberals get blamed but a majority is from the right.

Ticket to ride for Trump.

21. This incident is exactly what Gunners want their firearms for: self-protection

Everyone self-defended after the initial attack.

How'd it work out? "Only" 14 shot and 2 dead?

"It would have been worse, but for all the guns" say the gun apologists.
