Birmingham shooting leaves ‘multiple’ victims, police say

Four people were killed and dozens more injured in a shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday night.

Police said officers responded to reports of a major shooting. “Officers are on scene of multiple people with gunshot wounds, with possible multiple victims,” the Birmingham Police Department wrote in a message to X.

The shooting took place in the city’s Five Points South neighborhood, the post added.

ABC News Birmingham’s WBMA reported that at least four people were killed and dozens more injured in the shooting. At least four of the injured suffered life-threatening injuries, WBMA said.

WBMA said the shooting happened around 11 p.m. Saturday night in the busy Five Points South neighborhood.

Three of the four victims died at the scene, WBMA reported. The fourth victim died at the hospital.

Investigators said they have not made any arrests and believe there were multiple shooters. Police are investigating whether a gun equipped with a “switch” – which allows a semi-automatic weapon to fire at a faster rate – was used in the shooting, WBMA said.

Birmingham police have requested assistance from the FBI and ATF in the investigation, WBMA reported. Authorities are also seeking information from witnesses.

“There is no better resource than the public,” said Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald. “We will do everything in our power to uncover, identify and track down whoever is responsible for the attack on our citizens this morning.”
