CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - Four people were arrested Sunday evening following a shooting incident in the Wild Wood Cove area, according to Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver.

Authorities say four suspects were in a wooded area near a cove and shot into a neighboring section of woods without a proper backstop.

Cherokee County police say they arrested 44-year-old Bryon Mitchell, 39-year-old Mykysta Mitchell both of Unionville, Indiana and 43-year-old Timothy Fries and 44-year-old Tracie Lambert both of Summerville, South Carolina.

Floyd EMS transported the victim to a local hospital for medical treatment and they say she is expected to recover.

A grand jury declined to indict all four individuals named above.
