Police in Birmingham, Alabama, have launched a manhunt for multiple shooters who killed four people and injured 18 others in a shooting at a popular entertainment district. The incident occurred around 11 p.m. on a Saturday night, with at least four of the wounded suffering life-threatening injuries. Officers arrived on the scene to find two adult males and one adult female dead at the scene, while a fourth victim was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Video and photos posted on social media showed injured individuals on the ground outside and emotional reactions from bystanders.
Police believe that multiple shooters fired multiple shots at a group of people, but there is no one in custody at this time. Investigators are working to determine if the shooters walked up on the victims or drove by in a vehicle. It is unclear what the motive behind the shooting may have been, but investigators were told that all victims were out in the open when they were shot. Police are urging businesses with security cameras in the area to provide any footage that may be relevant to the investigation. The FBI and ATF are assisting with the investigation.
In a statement released after the shooting, police said they believe the incident was not random and stemmed from an isolated incident where multiple victims were caught in the crossfire. This marks the second mass shooting in Birmingham this year, with a previous incident in July that left four people dead at a nightclub. Police are vowing to do everything in their power to uncover the identity of those responsible for the shooting and bring them to justice. The community is urged to come forward with any information that may help in the investigation.
The shooting has shocked the local community and raised concerns about safety in the area. Birmingham has seen an increase in violent crime in recent years, prompting law enforcement to step up efforts to address the issue. Residents are calling for action to prevent further incidents of gun violence and ensure the safety of the community. The city is known for its vibrant entertainment scene, and the shooting has put a damper on the nightlife that draw visitors and residents alike.
Authorities are working tirelessly to track down the shooters and bring them to justice. The victims of the shooting have left behind grieving families and a community in mourning.
