Just hours after a deadly mass shooting at a park in Lousiville, United States that killed two people, another incident of gun violence was reported Saturday at a teenager's birthday party in Alabama's Dadeville that killed four people and injured at least 20 others, reported Fox News.

The incident of gun violence took place at around 10:30pm when the police received reports of a shooting at the Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio in Dadeville — a small city in Tallapoosa County.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey said she was "grieving" with the people of her state. "Violent crime has NO place in our state, and we are staying closely updated by law enforcement as details emerge," she tweeted. 

According to a witness, "the total number of victims was higher, including multiple people who died at the scene" — which is yet to be confirmed by the authorities, adding that "white sheets were covering the bodies."

There is also no detail available on the suspect who reportedly opened fire at a teenage birthday party at a dance studio.

Daleville is a small city located about 44 miles northeast of Montgomery.

This incident also comes days after a deadly mass shooting at an Old National Bank in Louisville that claimed at least five lives and left eight others injured.
