Man shot at 'Stop the Violence' basketball tournament

This past weekend in lovely Alabama:

Police received a 911 call Saturday at 6:35 p.m. about a shooting at the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center, a former school in Childersburg where the basketball tournament was taking place.

One shot was fired, and Donterius Riggins, 19, of Sylacauga was hit in the neck, said Childersburg Police Department Sgt. Donald Elkins.

“There was an altercation between him and several other men,” Elkins said.

Riggins was first transported by personal vehicle to Coosa Valley Medical Center in Sylacauga, and later transferred by ambulance to University Hospital.

“As of yesterday he was still in UAB in very stable condition,” Elkins said.
