A tragic mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama left four people dead and 18 others wounded in the city’s Five Points South entertainment district on Saturday night. According to the Birmingham city police department, multiple gunmen shot at a large group of people on the pavement, with many victims caught in the crossfire.
Police arrived at the scene to find two men and a woman dead on the sidewalk, and another male victim pronounced dead at a hospital. The injured victims were taken to hospitals with some suffering life-threatening injuries. The shooting was believed by detectives to be a targeted incident, rather than a random act of violence.
No arrests have been made yet, and investigators are seeking information from the public to determine the intended targets and identify the suspects involved. The Five Points South area is known for its nightlife and is typically crowded on Saturday nights with entertainment venues, restaurants, and bars.
Authorities are offering a potential reward for any information leading to the arrest of the shooters. The community is urged to come forward with any details that could assist in the investigation of this tragic and senseless act of violence that has shaken the residents of Birmingham.
