4 dead and many injured in Alabama shooting

At least four people were killed, more than a dozen injured and a search was launched in Birmingham, Alabama, on Sunday after a shooting in a busy entertainment district on Saturday night.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said two men and a woman died at the scene and a fourth died a short time later at a local hospital. Emergency responders took some of the injured to hospitals, while others arrived on their own at hospitals across the city, he said.

Fitzgerald said it appeared multiple gunmen fired into a crowd, but it was not clear if they were on foot or in cars. He said the shots were not random and officers were trying to determine who the target was. No suspects have been arrested.
