A shooting rampage in Birmingham, Alabama left four people dead and more than a dozen wounded in a crowded entertainment district Saturday night. The incident involved multiple shooters firing into a crowd, though it was unclear if they were on foot or in cars. The shooting did not appear random and authorities are working to determine who was targeted. No suspects have been apprehended yet. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the killers.
Police are urging anyone who was in the Five Points South district at the time of the shooting to come forward with any information they have. The ATF and FBI have been called in to assist with the investigation. Birmingham’s police chief stated that these mass shootings are more about culture than criminality, emphasizing that too many arguments are being resolved with bullets.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with people running and screaming as emergency responders arrived. Dajon Singleton, who witnessed the aftermath, described the situation as devastating and sad, with grieving screams indicating that loved ones had been lost.
