TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Seventeen people have been hurt — two critically — after a gunman fired into a crowded Alabama bar before shooting at people as they ran out.

Tuscaloosa Police chief Steve Anderson said the gunman, who has not been identified, did not set foot inside the bar during the incident, firing all of his shots from outside.

Hospital spokesman Brad Fisher said 17 people were being treated at DCH Regional Medical Centre, with two of them in intensive care.

Surveillance video released by police shows a man walking down a pavement with what appears to be a gun in one hand.
