“We believe that multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” in the Five Points South district of Birmingham just after 23:00, police officer Truman Fitzgerald told local media.
Officers found two adult males and one adult female who was unresponsive on the sidewalk suffering from a gunshot wound, Fitzgerald said. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
A fourth victim died at a local hospital, he added.
Dozens of people were wounded in the shooting with at least four sustaining life-threatening injuries, Fitzgerald said.
The others had “various injuries”, he added.
