A deadly shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday night left four people dead and dozens injured. According to BBC, multiple gunmen opened fire on a crowd, causing mass casualties.
Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald told local media on Sunday that “several shooters fired multiple rounds into a group of people.” Two men and a woman were found dead at the scene, while a fourth victim died later in the hospital. No suspects have been arrested so far, and authorities are urging the public to provide any information that may assist the investigation.
This tragic event highlights the persistent issue of gun violence in the United States, where the firearm-related death rate is the highest among developed nations. Despite frequent shootings, many Americans remain deeply attached to their guns, with an average of more than one firearm per person.
Among the injured, four are reported to be in critical condition.
