Author: BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Police are on the scene of a double shooting in west Birmingham.
One man was shot in the hand. It is unknown where the other man was shot, but Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr. said that victim was critically wounded. Both were taken to UAB Hospital.
The gunfire erupted just after noon in two locations: the 900 block of 9th Street S.W. and the 1100 block of Cotton Avenue. Williams said a man was shot at each location.
“We do believe they are related,” Williams said. “It appears a couple of groups of males were involved in a gun battle.”
Detectives and evidence technicians are on both scenes. Williams said they are still trying to sort out what happened.
