Two men had been shot, and both have survived so far - Kennedy said police do not believe their injuries are life-threatening at this time.

Since Saturday, police have been interviewing witnesses, reviewing surveillance footage and processing evidence.

Kennedy said one group of people fired on another, who returned fire in "apparent self-defense."

Kennedy said one of the suspects was also injured in the gunplay.

Two men have been arrested, but Kennedy said multiple people were seen firing weapons and more arrests are possible.

25-year-old Kejuan Arrington has been charged with attempted murder and had his release revoked on a previous charge. He is being held at the Tuscaloosa County Jail with no bond.

 Antwone Stowe, 23, has been charged with Attempted Murder and jailed on a $250,000 bond.

The issue of self-defense will be examined by the District Attorney's office and a grand jury if necessary, Kennedy said.

Anyone who was present or witnessed this incident is encouraged to contact the Violent Crimes Unit at (205) 464-8690.
