June 1, 2013

Deputies are seeking clues in an early Saturday morning drive-by shooting at a bar in Freemanville, north of  Atmore.

There was a gathering of people outside Thymes Place on Freemanville  Drive about 2 a.m. when a small, dark gray car drove by and someone opened fire out of a window, according to Mike Lambert, chief deputy of the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office.

One  victim was struck a single time in the arm and was listed in stable condition. A second victim was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital after being shot five to six times. The second victim was listed in serious but stable condition Saturday afternoon.

The car sped off after the incident, and Lambert said witnesses were unable to provide any other details.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department at (251) 809-0741 or Atmore Police Department at (251) 368-9141.
