Four Dead and 18 Hurt In Alabama Mass Shooting

At least four people have been killed and 18 injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police have said.

“Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Saturday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

Officers found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, while a third man later died of bullet wounds in hospital, Birmingham Police said.

Detectives are investigating whether the gunmen walked up to the victims or drove by, Fitzgerald said. No suspects have been arrested, reports the BBC.

He added that they believed the shooting was “not random and stemmed from an isolated incident where multiple victims were caught in the crossfire”.
