Atmore, AL (BuzzReport) — A 19-year-old Atmore man is facing multiple felony charges following an early morning shooting incident that left three people narrowly escaping injury, according to the Atmore Police Department.
Authorities say officers were dispatched to the Bragg Street Apartments on Bragg Street after receiving reports that a male subject had fired multiple shots into an occupied vehicle. Patrol officers, along with members of the department’s Crime Scene Unit and Criminal Investigations Division, responded swiftly to secure the scene and begin an investigation.
Preliminary findings indicate that Ivory Bogan, 19, of Atmore, allegedly and intentionally discharged a firearm into a vehicle occupied by three individuals. Investigators say the occupants included a person with whom Bogan has a current or prior relationship, as well as two additional passengers. One or more rounds struck the vehicle during the incident.
