Witnesses told CBS-affiliated television station WRBL that shooting occurred at a dance studio during a birthday party.

The station showed images of crime scene tape around the Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio and neighboring buildings and a heavy police presence.

Dadeville is about 60 miles (92 kilometers) northeast of Montgomery, the capital of the southeastern state of Alabama, and about 3,000 people live there.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement that: "This morning, I grieve with the people of Dadeville and my fellowAlabamians. Violent crime has NO place in our state, and we are staying closely updated by law enforcement as details emerge."

Officials have not provided information on a motive for a shooting.
