Birmingham police said multiple people fired multiple shots on a group of people just after 11 p.m. Saturday night in Birmingham Five Points South. It happened outside Hush, a hookah and cigar lounge on Magnolia Avenue.
Police believe the shooting was not random and stemmed from an isolated incident. Multiple people were caught in the crossfire, and right now, police are trying to identify the intended target.
A total of 22 people were shot. Among the 18 who survived, their injuries range from non-life-threatening to life-threatening.
No one is in custody at this time, according to police.
Two men and a woman were found unresponsive with gunshot wounds when police arrived, and then more gunshot victims were found. Those three victims died on the scene and another died at the hospital.
At least four of the gunshot victims have life-threatening injuries. The rest have “various injuries,” police said.
