Three juvenile gunshot wound victims are recovering in Huntsville Hospital after police found them inside a vehicle that was stopped Saturday night after its driver was operating the vehicle recklessly, authorities said Monday.
An officer with Decatur police’s patrol division was on routine patrol near Point Mallard Dr. SE around 8:40 p.m. Saturday when she saw a vehicle “driving in a reckless manner,” police said.
A traffic stop was initiated when the officer found three juveniles suffering from gunshot wounds.
Several officers arrived on scene and rendered aid, followed by Decatur Fire and Rescue and multiple ambulances.
The three gunshot victims were taken to Huntsville Hospital, police said.
All of the victims -- whose names were not released because they are underage -- are expected to recover.
Police have identified a suspect in the shooting and the investigation is ongoing.
