Of the nine people shot, three remained hospitalized Saturday afternoon, Battiste said at a news conference. Injuries to the 10th teenager were not known..

Deangelo Parnell, 17, turned himself in Saturday, according to a Mobile police news release, and has been charged with nine counts of attempted murder.

Parents whose children were at the stadium and are missing should call local hospitals, Battiste told CNN affiliate WKRG, adding that the city will not tolerate shootings at public events.

“Why are the young people bringing this type of violence to public events. They’re bringing their beefs that they have with each other in their neighborhoods and they’re putting other people in harm’s way,” he said. “This is unacceptable for people to not to be able to come out and enjoy an event.”

It is unclear whether there was a fight before the gunfire and police are interviewing witnesses at the scene, he said.

What in the world is going on with people and these guns? Especially the young people! Let us please keep those injured in our prayers as they continue to recover from these injuries. We will be sure to keep you all updated on this story as it continues to develop.
