POWELL, Ala.—Two people were shot after an altercation in Powell on Friday.

According to DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, Chief Investigator Nick Brown, two employees of Haymon Homes were shot after an argument at a home for caregivers of Haymon Homes.  The argument spilled onto the road with one victim in a car being shot and another being shot in the yard. 

One suffered injuries and was transported to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, TN.  The victim in the car left the scene and at this time his whereabouts are unknown. 

On Wednesday, April 5, Southern Torch reached out to Chief Investigator Brown for an update. 

“ I have spoken with most of the people involved in the shooting Friday from College Road. Everyone involved is claiming to be victims. I’m working now on the evidence found at the scene to try and recreate what happened with the projectiles and brass recovered. There were over forty rounds fired that we can tell so it’s taking some time to piece it together” stated Brown.

“Praise the Lord no innocent bystanders or others' homes were hit. All involved are accounted for and are cooperating at this time. I’m hoping to have a file together for the grand jury in September, if I can get everything back from the lab in time” concluded Brown. 

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, Powell Police Department, Rainsville Police Department along with JSU Center for Applied Forensics are aiding with the ongoing investigation.
