"Earlier today, hundreds of us marched down historic Jefferson Street for homecoming," Mayor O'Connell said, per WZTV. "What was a joyous atmosphere is tonight very different because of a senseless act of violence carried out by people who didn’t care who else might be caught in the crossfire."

Police believe there may be two suspects at-large, according to WZTV. One of the nine wounded people may have been involved in the shooting, according to police.
