BAY MINETTE, Alabama - Baldwin County High School student Summer Moody, 17, may have been partying Sunday at 4 a.m.with three other males, all 17, on Gravine Island when someone among the four decided to burglarize a fish camp.

 Inside, three fishermen were asleep among the many camps, some with only a roof, some with walls. Startled by the attempted break-in, two men fired rifles in the darkness at the intruders, according to Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack, afer a briefing with investigators Monday morning.

One shot hit Moody in the head. She was 15- to 30-feet from the dwelling. She was listed in critical condition Monday at the University of South Alabama Medical Center.

Investigators are not sure at this time which rifle delivered the blow or the exact location of the juveniles. Mack said the motive appears to be burglary, and that preliminary evidence indicates the males had broken into at least two other dwellings on the remote island.

 “We think the juveniles were taking items,” Mack said. “We think they didn’t know people were there, but the men became aware of them and fired.”

The juveniles were charged with third-degree burglary. No charges have been filed against the men. The investigation is continuing.

 “We know she was with them, but we are not 100 percent knowledgeable of her level of participation,” Mack said. “Sometimes, stupid actions present tragedy. Maybe they were partying. Maybe the males decided to do this. That is for us to find out.”
