Potentially twenty-five people were injured, four shot, and killed in Five Points South, Alabama. It sounds like a hit, possible gang activity. Police don’t know if it was a drive-by or the killers were on foot.
“When you lock into a number, that number typically changes,” Spokesperson Officer Fitzgerald said. “We’re not going to lock into a number right now, but when we finalize that, we will notify the media.”
No one is in custody.
“These mass shootings have more to do with culture than they do criminality,’’ Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald said. “Mayor Randall Woodfin said it best this week — we’re seeing far too many arguments being settled by bullets, and I think this speaks to exactly what our mayor recently said.”
Democrats will scream this is a mass shooting and legal gun owners must give up their guns, but they count gang shootings in the numbers.
The killers likely had converted the guns into automatics with a switch.
Here’s what we know:
- At least four people were killed and dozens more injured at Five Points South
- Multiple shooters opened fire just after 11 p.m. on Saturday
- No suspects are in custody as of early Sunday
- Ten victims are being treated at UAB Hospital
