An allegedly stolen car led to a 'shootout' between two groups of people on Interstate 59 South in Birmingham, Alabama, leaving four people injured.
Four people were injured after a 'shootout' on a busy interstate in Birmingham, Alabama, on Friday following a confrontation over a vehicle that was allegedly stolen, police said. Birmingham police said officers responded to 'multiple calls of a shootout taking place' on I-59 South near the 20th Street Ensley exit in the western part of the city at around 4:40 p.m. Friday. At the scene, officers found two vehicles that had been shot into just before the Bush Boulevard exit.
Fitzgerald said the group 'took it upon themselves' to confront the alleged thieves and a 'shootout' quickly followed, wounding four people. Two people struck by gunfire sustained life-threatening injuries, Fitzgerald said. They were both transported to the hospital by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service.
