The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office announced that 15 people were wounded and three people were killed at a May Day event in Stockton, Alabama on Saturday.

Fifteen people were injured and three killed in a shooting at a large spring-themed event in Stockton, Alabama, on Saturday, police say.

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office announced the injuries and fatalities in a Facebook post on Sunday evening. Authorities explained that the mass shooting began at around 9:30 p.m. at a field on Upper Bryants Landing Road.

Authorities are actively searching for suspects. They believe multiple gunmen were involved and "are following up on those leads," police say.
