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.
While the leftist media and politicians will blame guns and push hysteria over “mass shootings,” Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald said in a press conference these incidents “have more to do with culture than they do criminality.” He added, “We’re seeing far too many arguments being settled by bullets.”
