At least four people have been killed, and more than 20 were wounded in America's latest mass shooting.
The murders took place on Saturday in a nightlife area in Birmingham, Alabama. "Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people" in the Five Points South area of the city, police officer Truman Fitzgerald said. Cops found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, and a fourth victim died of bullet wounds in hospital, he said.
Detectives are investigating whether the gunmen walked up to the victims or drove by. No suspects have been arrested. The Five Points South district is known for its nightlife. Fitzgerald added there were "dozens of gunshot victims" and at least four had "life-threatening" injuries.
There have been more than 400 mass shootings - defined as a shooting involving at least four victims, dead or wounded - across the States, according to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA). At least 12,416 people have been killed in firearms violence this year in America, according to the GVA.
