Two people were injured after a shooting in the Samaria Road area on Dec. 6.

Clanton Police Department received a call at 11:29 p.m. reporting shots fired.

“When officers arrived, they located the scene and found that two subjects had been injured by gunfire,” CPD Captain David Clackley reported in a press release.

Both victims were transported for medical treatment, ultimately taken into the care of UAB Hospital, where they remain in stable condition despite severe injuries.
