3 people injured in Alabama church shooting

A woman, baby and pastor were shot inside the Alabama church.

Authorities have arrested a man connected to a shooting in an Alabama church that left three injured.

The victims were taken to hospital but their condition is unknown.

The suspect has been arrested and is in custody.

Police said James Junior Minter, 26, was charged with three counts of attempted murder after wounding his girlfriend, her 1-month-old infant and the pastor at the Oasis Tabernacle Church, the Associated Press reported.

In yet another case of a church shooting in the US , three people were reportedly injured after a gunman opened fire at people assembled at a church in Alabama.

The pastor wounded in the incident was white, while both Minter and the two other victims were black, reported CBS News.

Investigators say that the possible motive of the shooting stemmed from a domestic violence issue that had been ongoing between the couple.

According to a statement from Selma police, Minter entered the church and sat between his child and the mother, who was his girlfriend.

The girlfriend was shot in the shoulder and the jaw, police say. He could face up to life in prison if convicted for the shooting.
