One person was shot Saturday morning in Atmore.

Shortly before 8 a.m. Saturday, a woman called the Atmore Police Department to report that her brother had been shot on Brooks Lane.

Officers arrived to find a male victim with two gunshot wounds to the lower body, according to Atmore Police.

“Atmore Police believe the suspect(s) fired from a moving vehicle due to the shell casings found in the roadway,” Atmore Police Chiefs Chuck Brooks said in a statement. The name of the victim has not been released.

    State won’t help. Lol. It is everyday in Atmore. Thuggish behavior will always exist. They arrest them and they are right back on the street. State is little help if any

    Gun violence in this country is deplorable. Look at Mobile, it’s 4 or 5 a week. The madness must end

    Needs state help? Are you kidding me? What will the state do? The Sheriff’s Office already does the Troopers job by going to all the wrecks, not the troopers fault they are short handed. The state can’t fix the prison system or the mental health crisis. What about the juvenile issue? The problem is lawsuits, body cameras, Facebook and all that mess. You can’t police like you used to be able to.

    It is obvious that police department is not equipped for how bad the crime rate is in Atmore. I mean to have that many gun related crimes for a city of it size, that is no where near a bigger hub city shows it is losing the battle and needs state help.
