According to Dothan Police Chief William Benny, the confrontation began when a group meeting to purchase marijuana engaged in a heated argument after the payment process stalled. The situation escalated quickly when Peyton Ann Kroger allegedly pulled a firearm and began shooting.
Investigators say one bullet struck a business near the scene as the group attempted to flee. As the individuals tried to escape in a vehicle, Kroger reportedly approached the car and fired additional rounds, one of which struck a female victim in the upper chest.
