At least four people were killed and 21 injured in a shooting outside the Hush Lounge in Birmingham, Alabama Saturday night. Police believe multiple shooters targeted specific individuals with criminal histories, potentially as part of a murder-for-hire plot.
Some of the four people killed in a deadly Alabama shooting had 'extensive criminal' histories and might have been killed in a targeted murder-for-hire hit, police said Monday. Gunfire erupted Saturday night as a 'large group of people” were gathered outside the Hush Lounge in Birmingham , Alabama ’s second largest city, officials there said. Multiple shooters pulled up in a vehicle, got out and opened fire before they got back inside the vehicle and fled, authorities said.
'Some of the individuals that were killed have extensive criminal histories,' Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond told reporters. 'And because of that, there’s often times motivation from others and there’s people who are willing to pay to have them killed. And so that’s that’s part of it.' The four killed were among 21 shot. Many of those shot were 'collateral damage' in the attack on specific targets, Thurmond added.
