Four people were killed and dozens were injured in a shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday night.
Police said officers were responding to reports of a larger shooting. “Officers are on the scene of multiple people shot with possible multiple victims,” the Birmingham Police Department wrote in a post to X.
The shooting happened in the Five Points South area of the city, the post added.
ABC News Birmingham affiliate WBMA reported that at least four people were killed and dozens were injured in the shooting. At least four of the injured have 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 said. 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 so-called “switch” — which allows a semi-automatic weapon to fire at a faster rate — was used in the shooting, WBMA said.
The Birmingham Police Department has asked the FBI and ATF to help with the investigation, WBMA reported. Authorities are also seeking information from witnesses.
“There is no greater resource than the public,” Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald said. “We will do everything we can to ensure that we uncover, identify and hunt down whoever is responsible for hunting down our people this morning.”
