MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Five people, including four children, were killed in a Thursday night shooting in central Alabama, authorities said.
Brandon Kendrick, 32, was arrested on multiple counts of capital murder for the death of a woman and four children in Bibb County, court records show. The children were all under the age of 14. The victims were shot in the head with a handgun, according to a document filed with the arrest warrant.

The shooting occurred in the West Blocton community which is about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Birmingham
