(DOTHAN, Ala.) The Dothan Police Department has arrested three individuals following an extensive investigation into a shooting that occurred at Wiregrass Commons Mall, located at 900 Commons Drive, on Friday, July 3, 2026.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on July 3, multiple calls were received reporting gunfire at the mall. Officers from the Dothan Police Department, along with Houston County Sherriff’s Department and ALEA Troopers, responded immediately and conducted a systematic search of the property to locate victims, suspects, witnesses, and evidence.

Investigators with the Dothan Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division, VICE/GUN Unit, and Crime Scene Unit immediately began processing the scene, collecting evidence, reviewing surveillance footage, and interviewing witnesses.
