Police say multiple gunmen fired on a group of people outside on a street in the city of Birmingham.

At least four people have been killed and 18 injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police say.

“Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Saturday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

Officers found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, while a third man later died of bullet wounds in hospital, Birmingham Police said.

    I mean, it’s pretty straightforward to run sting buy operations and then go after the platform selling illegal products. I’m surprised there isn’t an ATF taskforce devoted to combing the usual internet marketplaces and then filing federal charges.

      I’m sure they have immunity because they are an intermediary, just like a social media company isn’t responsible for the content their users post as long as they remove illegal content when they see it.
