At least 4 killed and dozens more injured in Birmingham black / wigger shooting

At least four people were killed and dozens more were injured in a 
shooting at in Birmingham, Alabama police said early Sunday. 

At least four of the wounded have “life-threatening injuries,” Birmingham 
Police Department Officer Truman Fitzgerald told a news conference, hours 
after the incident in what he called one of the city’s “most popular 
entertainment districts.”

Fitzgerald said that officers arrived on the scene shortly after 11 p.m. 
Saturday “when they observed two adult males and one adult female who was 
unresponsive on the sidewalk suffering from a gunshot wound.”

Medics pronounced them “dead at the scene,” he said, adding that the 
fourth victim was pronounced dead at the nearby UAB hospital. 

“We believe that multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of 
people,” he said. “Our detectives are working to confirm whether the 
shooters walked up on the victims or drove by in a vehicle, and that’s why 
we need the public’s help,” he added. 

“There’s no one in custody,” he said. “Rest assured, we are going to do 
everything we possibly can to make sure that we uncover, identify and hunt 
down who was ever responsible for preying on our people,” he added. 

Fitzgerald did not speculate on a motive, but said that investigators were 
“told that all of the victims were out in the open, on either a sidewalk 
or the street. So these group of shooters fired upon these victims when 
they were out in the open, we were not told that this happened inside of 
any business.”

He also urged businesses with security cameras in the area to check their 
footage and provide anything relevant to investigators.

The department has requested FBI and ATF assistance with the 
investigation, he said.

It is the second mass shooting in the city this year. In July, four people 
were killed at a nightclub.
