A 14-year-old Alabama girl was killed after two men fired into a group of girls who decided to settle down the brawl in the park, in the state capital Birmingham, over an argument they had on Facebook.

News reports stated the girls planned to videotape their fight and post the recording online, but after the fight began, two teenage males arrived and started shooting at them, Stuff.co.nz reported.

The shots killed 14-year-old Kierra'onna Rice and wounded two others.

Police arrested two suspects, a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old, one of whom was believed to have been dating one of the girls who was fighting Rice.
