HOOVER, Alabama - Police on Sunday released more details about a deadly shooting during an Iron Bowl party in Hoover.
The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Saturday at the Summerchase at Riverchase apartments. Two of the female partygoers, both Alabama fans, got into an argument shortly after the game ended.
The argument started inside the apartment, and spilled over into the parking lot. Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said the argument turned physical and both women ended up on the ground.
One of them pulled a small caliber handgun and shot the other. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene. Derzis said the two women didn't know each other. He said police have not yet confirmed what started the fight.
Shelby County Coroner Diana New identified the victim as 36-year-old Michelle Sheperd of Birmingham. She was a mother of three young children.
The shooter was taken into custody. Derzis said the case will be presented to the Shelby County District Attorney's Office Monday to determine whether criminal charges will be filed.
