TWO people were shot in a church in Alabama on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred at Amity Missionary Baptist Church on St Stephens Road in Mobile, Alabama.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FOX10 reported the shooting happened around 1:45pm at the church.<\/p>\n

Church services were not happening when the shooting occurred, WKRG reported.<\/p>\n

FOX10 spoke with Deacon Thomas Young, who said the church was celebrating its 100th anniversary when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

Deacon Young said most of the churchgoers were in the back of the building and took cover during the shooting.<\/p>\n

A man and a woman were hit in the shooting, according to the Deacon. Young said their injuries are non-life-threatening.<\/p>\n

The cause of the shooting is not currently known, and the incident is under investigation.<\/p>\n

Information about the perpetrator has not been released.<\/p>\n

Just one day earlier on Saturday, August 7, the church's Facebook page shared images of free clothes, food, and school supplies seemingly available at the location.<\/p>\n
