Brawl Erupts at Charity Basketball Game During Jubilee

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

A charity basketball game erupts in violence during the annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee.

The incident was caught on camera and now the video has gone viral.

A free-for-all broke out in the stands of the Selma high gymnasium Saturday just as a celebrity basketball game was about to get started.

A video shows the brawl raging non-stop until a police officer uses mace and clears the stands.

Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson was a coach for one of the teams.

He says the fight was gang related.

“Thankfully, at this kind of event you have metal detectors and so the guns couldn’t be brought in. And so it was fighting, it was fists, people stomping each other,” he said.

Selma Police Chief Spencer Collier says four minors were arrested at the scene and more arrests are possible.

The game was sponsored by Best of Student Shooters, a local non-profit that uses sports to teach area youth about business.
