Three people are dead and one injured after an overnight shooting at Teasers night club in Wicksburg.
The shooting occurred at about 11:30 p.m., Aug. 9, and the shooting suspect was apprehended at about 7 a.m. this morning.
Ryan Clark Petersen, 22, of Enterprise was arrested after leaving Teasers on foot following the shooting. Authorities scoured the area during the night.
Petersen was located by the Houston County Sheriff's Department and is being transferred to the Houston County Jail.
A witness says Petersen had been drinking and acted inappropriately to one of the employees and was asked to leave. When he returned inside the club he was brandishing a gun, said to be a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. Reports are he shot a bouncer, an employee and two other men.
The names of the deceased are Cameron Eubanks, 20, who is the owner's son; Tiffany Paige Grissett, 31, of Ozark; and Thomas Robins, 59, of Dothan, who was a patron at the club.
Also shot was Scotty Russell, 33, of Opp, another patron at the club. Russell was shot in the arm and is believed to have non-life threatening injuries.
Petersen has been charged with three capital murders and attempted murder.

Death penalty - not likely given his extensive history of mental illness.
