Four dead and dozens wounded in U.S. shooting: “We believe multiple shooters fired”

A multi-person shootout in Alabama, in the southern United States, has left at least four people dead and dozens injured, police announced on Sunday.
“We believe several shooters fired multiple shots at a group of people” in a Birmingham neighborhood Saturday night, police officer Truman Fitzgerald told local media.
Three adults, two men and a woman, were found on the sidewalk with fatal gunshot wounds, while a fourth victim died in a local hospital, he reported.
In all, dozens of people were hit by gunfire, four of whom are in a serious condition, said Fitzgerald.
The police have not yet made any arrests, he continued, urging the public to provide any information that might help the investigation.
The fire department intervened on Saturday evening and cordoned off the area.
With more firearms than inhabitants, the United States has the highest death rate from firearms of any developed country.
Shootings are a recurring scourge that successive governments have so far failed to curb, as many Americans remain very attached to their guns.
