HUNTSVILLE – An overnight shooting in north Huntsville left four people wounded and the suspect behind bars after struggling with officers, Huntsville police said.

According to HPD, officers responded to a shooting at 708 Poplar Ave. just after midnight  Sunday and encountered a large crowd and found four victims with gunshot wounds.

All four were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No further information is available at this time, according to police.
