One person was fatally shot in Louisville, Alabama, at a Freaknik-inspired party, overwhelming law enforcement with a large crowd of nearly 1,000 people flooding the rural town of just 600 residents.
Authorities were unprepared for the influx of people, with the promoter selling wristbands for the event and the sheriff unaware of the party’s occurrence until it turned deadly.
The tragic shooting at the Louisville Freaknik-style party is one of several incidents across Alabama, with Selma’s mayor suspending the police chief after multiple shootings at similar events.
