'“Everybody wants answers but it’s going to take time,” one Dadeville resident Tony Coker said after today's announcement of arrests in the deadly shooting. “If there’s any more involved, I just hope they get them.”
After the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announcedwith four counts of reckless murder -- brothers Ty Reik McCullough, 17, and Travis McCullough, 16 – people lingered on the courthouse lawn, talking to each other and to reporters.
“I’m really pissed,” Morgan said. “Because it’s sad. They are allowing these children to walk around here toting guns. They need to get the ones who are putting these guns in these children’s hands. They need to go at them. These children can’t get these guns until they go to a place and buy these guns. They need to bring a law to stop kids from buying a gun. A kid needs to be 25 or 30 years old, know the law, and know what a gun means. These were children. Children killing children.
Coker, wearing a Dadeville Tigers shirt, was with his son, Anthony Coker, 15, a track and football teammate and friend of one of the victims who died, Philstavious “Phil” Dowdell. Anthony runs relays and throws the javelin for the track team. Coker said the track team had a meet in Troy one day before the tragedy, which erupted at the Sweet 16 birthday party of Dowdell’s sister, Alexis Dowdell, who“Never said anything to me about it,” Coker said.
