At least four people are dead and dozens more shot after a mass shooting in Birmingham Saturday night.
When officers arrived, they discovered three people, two men and one woman, dead at the scene. A fourth victim later died at the hospital. Investigators says early details point to multiple shooters. They believe the shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people outside on the sidewalk or in the street. There is no indication that any of the shootings happened inside a business. It is unclear if the shooters walked up or if this was a drive-by shooting. Investigators are looking into whether or not a 'switch' was used in the shooting. A switch is a device that allows a gun to act as an automatic weapon.
