Per WVTM 13:
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.”
The Gun Violence Archive and leftist media outlets identify mass shootings as incidents with “a minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident.” Therefore, incidents like this and other shootings that could be related to gang violence and don’t come to mind when you think of a mass shooting are considered “mass shootings,” likely to inflate the statistics and drive fear.
