Police in Birmingham, Al., said on Sunday that approximately 17 people were injured and 4 were killed when shots rang out just after 11 p.m. Saturday night in the busy entertainment district of Five Points South. Police believe the shooting was targeted and have no suspects in custody.
"We believe the individual that was targeted is among the deceased. We believe that there was a hit, if you will, on that particular person. Or you know, someone was willing to pay money to have that person to killed," Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurman said Sunday. Thurman added that over 100 shell casings were found.
"That's 21 people whose lives were forever changed. That's 21 families that were — some were destroyed and some were just altered. And just our hearts go out to them," he said.
According to officials, a large search for the shooters are underway and Birmingham police have reached out to federal law enforcement agencies for help with the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities.
