Four people were killed and 18 more were injured in a shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police said Sunday. Some of the individuals wounded suffered injuries "life-threatening injures," Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald told a news conference, hours after after the incident that occurred in what he called one of the city's "most popular entertainment districts."
Police said they believe multiple suspects fired at a large group of people standing outside near Magnolia Avenue in the Five Points South area, police said. The shooting happened just after 11 p.m. CST.
Two men and one woman were pronounced dead at the scene by Birmingham Fire and Rescue. Police officers found them lying unresponsive on a sidewalk when they arrived. Each had multiple gunshot wounds.
