A mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, on the night of September 21, 2024, has left four people dead and at least 17 others injured. The attack occurred in the Five Points South entertainment district, a bustling area near the University of Alabama. Birmingham police believe this was a targeted attack, possibly a murder-for-hire, where multiple suspects opened fire using automatic weapons, striking bystanders in the crossfire.

The victims include two men and a woman found dead at the scene, while another man died later at a hospital. Some of the injured are in critical condition. Police suspect the attackers may have used devices called "switches" to convert semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic ones. As of now, no arrests have been made, and authorities are asking the public to provide any information that could help in the investigation.
