BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A tragic incident unfolded in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday night, resulting in the loss of four lives and injuries to 17 others. Multiple shooters targeted one individual at a popular nightlife spot in what police believe was a deliberate “hit” at Five Points South.

The shooting took place in a bustling district filled with entertainment venues, restaurants, and bars. The city has been shaken by several mass shootings this year, prompting officials to seek solutions to gun violence.

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin emphasized the urgent need to apprehend the shooters and remove them from the streets during a press conference on Sunday.

The shooting occurred outside Hush, a hookah and cigar lounge, leaving blood stains on the sidewalk. Police Chief Scott Thurmond indicated that the incident may have been a targeted attack, possibly linked to a murder-for-hire.

Authorities recovered approximately 100 shell casings at the scene, with some of the gunfire believed to be from fully automatic weapons. The investigation is ongoing to determine the type of firearms used and whether there was return fire.

Three individuals were found dead on the sidewalk, while another victim succumbed to injuries in the hospital. Seventeen people were injured, with some in critical condition. The University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital is treating several survivors.

The area affected by the shooting is popular among young adults due to its proximity to the University of Alabama at Birmingham and various dining and entertainment options.

Residents like Geoffrey Boshell and Ashton Mills expressed shock and concern over the incident, highlighting the broader issue of gun violence in the country.

Mayor Woodfin called for a concerted effort to address the epidemic of gun violence, urging state and federal authorities to provide more support in combating such crimes.

He emphasized the need for elected officials at all levels to tackle the American crisis of gun violence and work towards a safer future for communities.

This story has been corrected to lower the number of injured to 17 from 18, based on amended information from the police.

Associated Press writer Jonathan Mattise in Nashville, Tennessee, contributed to this report.
