From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
CULLMAN — Two juvenile Trussville brothers are on the run following a Monday night shootout in the parking lot of a Cullman, Alabama, Verizon store.
According to The Cullman Tribune, an argument between the two brothers, aged 16 and 17, late Monday night culminated in a shootout that resulted in at least 21 shots being fired, Cullman Police Department Captain of Investigation J.P. White told the paper. The Verizon store, a vehicle and a utility box were allegedly struck in the shootout.
One of the brothers was shot and transported by a personal vehicle to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham, where he subsequently fled. His brother departed the scene of the shooting. Both are still on the run.
White said that the officers were able to identify the brothers within 30 minutes after arriving on the scene following statements from witnesses and from people who were with the brothers.
White said that they plan on charging the two teenagers as adults with charges of reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and carrying a handgun without a permit.
The Cullman County Police Department is actively seeking warrants for their arrest.
Their identities have not been released.
We have reached out to the Cullman County Police Department regarding any additional information on the teenagers, but have been unable to reach anybody as of yet.
