Birmingham firefighter dies days after being shot while on duty

One of two Birmingham, Alabama, firefighters who were shot while on duty last week has died, Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service said. 

Jordan Melton was shot last Wednesday at a fire station in what the police chief said could have been a "targeted" attack. 

"Jordan was a vibrant young brother who was full of life. He loved to talk sports as much as he loved good barbecue," Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said in a statement Monday. "He had a brilliant mind for business, but he was always down to lighten the mood with a joke or two. He was also a wonderful son to his mother, who has been his rock in these difficult past few days."
