Four people were wounded in a shooting in the exit ramp from a stadium during a high school football game Friday night in Mobile, Alabama, according to officials on Saturday.

During a media briefing outside of the Ladd-Peebles Sports and Entertainment Complex, Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine revealed that two of the four victims were juveniles.

Prince noted that three men and one woman were taken to local hospitals, where one was in critical condition. The gender and age of the victim in critical condition were not released Friday.

He affirmed that the police are working to determine the identities of the victims.

The football game between Williamson High School and Vigor High School "was stopped and has since ended," he said, adding that no shots were fired inside the stadium.

"The shots were fired on the west ramp," Prine said. "It was not shot in the arena or in the football area where the stands were at, but it was here on the exit ramp coming out of the stadium."

Officers found four shell cases in the area and believe there may have been as many as seven shots fired, according to Prine.

"We have several inpiduals that maybe involved, but possibly just one shooter," Prine said.

The police chief did not provide a motive for the shooting but claimed that there were possibly two men involved in an altercation around the time of the shooting.

Prine called the shooting an isolated incident, noting he didn't believe there was any threat to the public.

Police received information that at least two people got into a white sedan and fled the scene following that shooting. Officers were working to locate them.

At the time of the news briefing, no arrests had been made, according to the police chief.
