Police say the shooting may have been part of a murder-for-hire plot targeting one person, who was killed.

At least four people have been killed and 18 injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police say.

“Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Saturday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

Officers found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, while a third man later died of bullet wounds in hospital, Birmingham Police said.

    This. It is already 100% illegal to manufacture new machineguns at the Federal level, which carries a 10 year prison sentence for each count, not to mention the felonious assaults that occurred.

    The official saying this is literally just coming up with the most half assed “not our fault” bit of press junket garbage he can. Either that or he is deliberately lying because he doesn’t align politically with the state level politicians and wants to try to apply false blame to them.

    It is unconstitutional to outlaw Glock handguns, and the full auto bits are already illegal. The actual solution is to 1) find the perps and put them under the fucking jail and 2) sanction the fuck out of Chinese commercial entities that are actively trying to destabilize the US with fentanyl and illegal weapons.
