Four Atmore men have been taken into custody for an early morning shooting, according to 21^st Judicial Drug Task Force agent Scott Walden.

Walden said Atmore police officer Shaun Golden was traveling north on Alabama 21 at approximately 4 a.m. Saturday when came upon four males shooting into a home on Patterson Street.

Walden said the four suspects fled on foot into a wooded area near Patterson Apartments, but were all apprehended by 6:30 a.m. by the combined efforts of Atmore Police Department officers, Poarch Police Department officers and a K-9 team from Fountain Correctional Facility.

Ricky Tolbert, 19; Terrance Marshall, 18; Michael Mitchell, 21; and Reginald Yelder, 23, all of Atmore, were arrested and charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling

Walden said law enforcement officers suspect the shooting occurred in retaliation to a Thursday night shooting that occurred in the same fashion, outside a home on Mosley Street. Walden said that incident is still under investigation.
