Police Chief Scott Thurmond said at a news conference that police are still sifting through tips, as five injured victims remain in the hospital.
Officials in Birmingham, Ala., pleaded Monday with members of the public for information leading to arrests in a weekend mass shooting that killed four people and injured more than a dozen others, announcing rewards of up to $100,000. Police Chief Scott Thurmond said at a news conference that police are still sifting through tips. Five of the injured victims remain in the hospital, he said. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward, and Crime Stoppers is offering $50,000, officials said.
Thurmond has said authorities believe the shooting targeted one of the people who was killed, possibly in a murder-for-hire. A vehicle pulled up and “multiple shooters” got out and began firing, then fled, he said. “We believe that there was a ‘hit,’ if you will, on that particular person,” Thurmond said earlier. Police said about 100 shell casings were recovered.
