MOBILE, AL -- Police have released the names of two men killed and a third who was wounded Wednesday afternoon when a gunman walked up and fired into their vehicle at a busy McDonald's drive-through in the Toulminville area of north Mobile.

The victims returned fire in the 4:40 p.m. incident. Mobile Police spokesman, Officer Eric Gallichant, said bullets hit a nearby church day-care center. He said no one inside the day-care was hurt.

Gallichant identified the dead as 22-year-old Demarcus Jones and 19-year-old Michael Tunstall. Jonathan Taylor, 20, was shot in the abdomen and managed to drive himself to the University of South Alabama Medical Center. His medical condition was unavailable.

More than a dozen people, including several children, were inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting. Acting Police Chief Lester Hargrove said the shooter showed -- quote -- "an absolute disregard for human life."

Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson, Jr. said the shots were fired into the back of the vehicle when it rolled up to the restaurant window to pay. He said the attacker fled in a waiting vehicle.

Meanwhile, police are looking for 26-year-old Extaunia Ely, calling her a person of interest in the case. Through an investigation by Homicide Unit detectives, it was determined that Ely was inside the vehicle with the unidentified shooter when he fled the scene. So far, there have been no arrests.
